Forms Manager

Led UX design with cross-functional teams in the design and development process, from validating concept to demonstrate product to executives.

We used discovery workshops to brainstorm high level vision of the product. To find out what the pain points might be, and who are the potential users, we conducted a competitive analysis. After presenting my findings to the team, we had more specific details about our potential users and what might they use it for. This information helped us to iterate user flows, wireframes, and interactive prototypes.

Bringing in a team of variety experiences, to brainstorm what it takes to build a minimum viable form portal product.

I facilitated workshops with the project team, including project manager, product manager, designer, and technical lead. We collaborated to identify high-level product vision and initial requirements, using a combination of white boards, card sorting, and sticky notes. To build share understandings, we created user stories together in the workshops to focus on user needs. It helped us in discussions and iterating user flows and journeys later on.

After analysing user reviews from our competitors, we learnt users want less hassle to integrate the form manager that is user friendly.

From analysing competitors’ reviews, I learnt what ticks their boxes such as a form product being user friendly, affordable, and being able to customise conditional logic and integration. As well as what can be improved, such as technical issues, variety of styles themes, and easy to integrate with current systems. Our new product could aim to help users fulfil their goals among some common user cases, including event registration, internal forms for organisations or contact forms etc. according to our research.

Empathy maps help users like Chris to achieve their goals quickly, create and manage applications. It allows them to focus on other important tasks they might have.

Demonstrated user flows with technical team and the stakeholders to ensure we share the same vision before the design phase.

After brainstorming sessions and research, I worked with the technical team to refine user flows by having discussions and challenging any gaps. There are two different roles: one as an admin user who creates and manages the application (for example, Chris the sales executive from the empathy map); and a customer who completes the application by filling out and sign forms.

Collaborated wireframe reviews to iterate and clarify user journeys.

From the discovery workshops, we were able to escalate user flows to interface using paper wireframes. It allows us to quickly make any changes as soon as we spot any gaps in designs. We reviewed the wireframes and iterate changes, to ensure the journeys are as clear as we can. During this process I was able to remove any unnecessary steps, and getting feedback from other member who is less familiar with the project.

Our goal is to make creating applications clearer and simpler so our users can get on with other more important tasks.

We understand these administrational processes can be rather dull for professionals like Chris. It is our goal to make their journey as easy as possible and as painless as possible.

Display status of elements when interaction happens.

Having a centralised approach for common elements such as button, input field that showcases how different status in visual design. It does not just help my design process, it can also help communication with front-end development and reduce confusion.

I structure my visual designs in Sketch, suggesting how it can be built into components in the development phase.
