Project Overview:
This project focused on creating a best-in-class application experience designed to simplify the early stages of the user journey and increase top-of-funnel engagement. The goal was to guide users through the application process with a clear, intuitive interface while minimizing friction and confusion.
The Problem:
The existing application process lacked a cohesive user flow and presented several usability challenges that created friction for new users, which negatively impacted engagement and completion rates.
The challenge was to design a streamlined experience that:
-
Clearly guided users through the application flow
-
Handled edge cases and error states effectively
- Reduced cognitive load and unnecessary steps
-
Supported scalable design and development
Goals:
The project focused on improving the top-of-funnel experience by:
-
Creating a clear, step-by-step application journey
- Improving error handling and edge-case experiences
-
Creating scalable design documentation for development
- Reducing user friction and confusion
-
Establishing a consistent visual and interaction language
My Role: UX Lead
Responsibilities included:
- Designing the end-to-end user experience
-
Developing wireframes and high-fidelity designs
-
Work with engineering on edge cases and error handling
-
Using UX data insights to guide design decisions
- Creating user flows and journey maps
- Conduct Interviews & Usability tests
- Defining the visual language and interaction patterns
- Delivering design specifications and documentation
Approach
1. User Journey & Flow Design
I mapped the full end-to-end user journey to identify friction points and opportunities to simplify the experience. This process helped establish a clear and logical flow that guided users through the application process.
2. Wireframing & Interaction Design
Low- and mid-fidelity wireframes were created to test structure, navigation, and interaction patterns before moving into visual design. This allowed the team to quickly iterate and validate the experience.
3. Visual Language & High-Fidelity Design
I defined the visual language for the product to ensure consistency across the experience. High-fidelity mockups were developed to communicate final design intent and interaction behavior.
4. Collaboration with Engineering
I worked closely with developers throughout the implementation phase, guiding the experience for edge cases, error handling, and system constraints to ensure a seamless customer experience.
5. Data-Informed Decisions
UX and behavioral data were analyzed to validate design decisions and prioritize improvements that would reduce friction and improve completion rates.
Deliverables
-
End-to-end user journey maps
-
High-fidelity prototypes
-
Design specifications and documentation
-
UX flows and interaction models
-
Low- and mid-fidelity wireframes
-
Data-informed UX insights
Outcome
The redesigned experience introduced a clearer and more intuitive application flow that reduced complexity and improved usability. By aligning product, design, and engineering teams early in the process, the project established a scalable UX foundation and improved the overall customer experience during the critical first stages of engagement, resulting in higher conversion rate and reduction in time spent on page.
