🎨 Design challenges addressed:
Ticket 1: Improving Design Hand-Off Process:
Challenge: The designers and developers faced challenges in referring to the correct files and not getting all information in an organized manner, causing delays and inconsistencies.
Opportunity: How Might we format/organize files so that anyone who accesses the file can easily find the info they need?.
Approach:
Initial Meeting: I met with the design manager who assigned me the ticket to understand the current hand-off process and identify pain points.
Feedback Sessions: Conducted sessions with designers and developers to gather insights and suggestions for improvement.
Proposed Solution: Proposed a new way to structure design files with a cover that includes ticket name with links to tickets in an organized structure and final designed page separated for developers so there's no confusion .
Implementation: Worked closely with the teams to implement the new process, ensuring clear communication and reducing the chances of misinterpretation.
Designed for bridging the gap
Ticket 2: Scrollable Tabs
Challenge: Users reported difficulty in navigating through multiple tabs as the tab doesn't seem scrollable.
Approach:
Design Exploration: Collaborated with designers to explore various scrollable tab designs that could enhance user experience without overwhelming the interface.
Prototype and Feedback: Created interactive prototypes and gathered feedback from users, designers, and developers to refine the design.
Final Design: Implemented a scrollable tab feature that allowed users to easily navigate through multiple tabs with smooth scrolling and intuitive indicators.
Ticket 3: Missing Next Button in Mass Event Page
Challenge: Disruption of workflow as users can only move back from the mass event page but not continue forward.
Approach:
Added a next button to the page by ensuring the placement of the button enhanced the user flow without adding clutter to the interface.
Outcome:
The addition of the "Next" button improved user navigation and task completion rates, enhancing the overall usability of the mass event page
Ticket 4: Download Event Attachments Setting
Challenge: Users needed a way to manage the download of event attachments for offline access, ensuring they could view and edit assets without an internet connection.
Approach:
Requirement Gathering: Worked with the PM to understand the specific requirements and user needs for the download event attachments setting.
Design Concept: Designed a toggle button feature within the settings menu, allowing users to enable or disable the download of event attachments.
Feedback Loop: Presented the concept to designers, developers, and users to gather feedback and make necessary adjustments.
Final Implementation: Developed the final design with a clear and intuitive toggle button that provided users control over their data download preferences
