Challenges
-
I had to design a mobile web experience for a complex 2B desktop product.
-
I needed to reduce the complexity of the old workflow to make it easier but at the same time safer for users to operate on their mobile.
-
I faced the dilemma of identifying the trade-offs and the priority of different features and functions.
Learnings & Practices
-
I collaborated with cross-functional teams including UX researchers, UX writers, engineers, design managers, and product managers.
-
I created an innovative model to analyze and evaluate the complex 2B experience so I could identify accurate and practical solutions for ambiguous design problems.
-
I presented my design to teams for critiques and iterated based on feedback from both designers and users to create well-crafted prototypes.
Key Takeaways
-
I dived deep to learn about new products, get a thorough understanding of the business impact of the products and analyzed the mobile web experiences' pain points and opportunities.
-
I designed for two different groups of customers - buyers and sellers, giving me opportunities to think in different mindsets to provide better customer experiences.
-
I presented and defended my design with solid justifications like design principles, rationales, and user data to convince the audience to agree with me when meeting with stakeholders and cross-functional teams and levels.
-
I took proactive actions to communicate with cross-functional teams to push ahead with the projects.
