I was hired at a pivotal moment when both their user interfaces were being revamped to match the new branding.


I inherited three over-complicated, poorly documented Figma files, with interfaces lacking usability and accessibility principles. As a result, I successfully delivered two functioning interfaces on top of a scalable Design System for each one of them.


By the time I left, I had established clear documentation, implemented a practice of critique and governance, and initiated collaboration with engineering to make the design system a shared priority.

Planned and executed the entire re-design for the existing UI of both interfaces (Courier, mobile + Customer, mobile & web)

Impact

We immediately saw an increase in cohesion and decrease in rogue components, and a faster pace of iterative and early design work. The governance process I established created more opportunities for engineers and design to collaborate, getting early visibility into how the system was emerging across the product. This visibility expanded as we hired a dedicated front engineer and started to pull the visual system into code.

This visibility expanded as we hired a dedicated front engineer and started to pull the visual system into code.

Approach

01.

Research & Discovery

  • Conducted a thorough audit of the existing systems by mapping all journeys for both interfaces

  • Led workshops with stakeholders to understand the main issues we had, from internal communication, lack of visibility and documentation, so we could improve our efficiency as a team

  • Interviewed customers and couriers (our users) to create some use cases which would guide me to make some core design decisions

  • Established clear design and accessibility principles which would also enhance overall usability

  • Conducted extensive competitive analysis to understand the logistics landscape

  • Collaborated with front-end engineers to catalog existing components and their required states

02.

Solution Validation

Conducted usability testing by creating interactive prototypes to validate components and user journeys. Some other key methodologies I used:

  • A/B testing

  • Card sorting to improve Information Architecture

  • User interviews

  • Contextual inquiries

  • Stakeholder feedback

Product Strategy & Design

Intensively iterative process, where I translated my entire research and feedback into actionable designs by:

  • Leading co-creation sessions with target users to refine workflows and integration requirements, ensuring seamless compatibility with existing processes

  • Critique and review: brought components to design critiques, so engineers had visibility into suggested permutations to provide early feedback.

  • Designing comprehensive user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes to define the experience and interface for key features—iterating and improving based on feedback

  • Partnering with product leadership to shape the product vision, strategy, and roadmap

Outcomes

Delivered two scalable design systems, following consistent patterns and accessibility principles

Accelerated the creation, testing, and release of new features

Improved usability by addressing pain points from previous versions, optimising flows for future features on the roadmap

Implemented a more holistic design culture that encouraged constant collaboration, fostering innovation, and ultimately leading to better products

Boosted the team's confidence by making everyone feeling included and part of the process

Key Learnings

The success of a design system hinges on its invisible parts – how to use it, when to evolve it, and why it matters for the overall success of the team

As a result of the new Design Systems, I focused on the onboarding process for customers and couriers in both platforms. The aim was to improve the journey for first-time and recurring users, and to also reduce learning curve and users' resistance. Also, after the re-branding, we had to audit pre-existing content to ensure the visual language was consistent.

There were 2 parts in this process:


  1. In February 2021, the UK Supreme Court ruled that Uber drivers are workers, not self-employed contractors, granting them rights such as minimum wage, paid holidays, and rest breaks. This decision has prompted businesses to reevaluate their gig worker arrangements and clarified how tribunals should address status questions.


  1. The "Right of Substitution" is a legal requirement that supports contracts for project completion, rather than for an individual’s services. This allows another person to take over if needed, impacting couriers hired as self-employed.


    In response to growing legal cases around how companies contract couriers, we implemented a major change to the platform.

The previous KPIs were misleading and couriers couldn’t understand what they meant (using metrics like “Popularity” or “Engagement”). The terminology used was hard to understand, as most users don’t have English as their primary language. The concepts were based on 5 different metrics, and their feedback was mainly about the system being “confusing” and “unfair”.

  • Provided training sessions and documentation to help internal teams adapt to the new interface

  • Offer continuous support during the transition, allowing users to report any issues or difficulties they encounter

Approach

01.

Research & Discovery

  • Performed research along with the Product Owner and CTO to understand how to provide context to train the chatbot

  • Collated all internal and external written content (website, Notion pages, documentation, Intercom articles)

  • Created a knowledge base to start testing

  • Gathered data from the back-end to identify the main types of tasks or queries the chatbot would handle

Solution

  • Defined clear boundaries for what the chatbot can and cannot do

  • Mapped out the conversation flow, scripting how the chatbot will respond to various user inputs and how to keep the conversation going

  • Designed fallback paths for when the chatbot doesn't understand the query or the user needs to escalate the issue to a human

  • Helped to fine-tune and iterate the chatbot responses, tweaking the content provided for training
