PORTFOLIO
THE PROJECt
OX Chat is a mobile/web application that allows Coaches to create/edit users, set permissions, and theme in order to easily collaborate daily with their players and staff. When I was hired an alpha version was in production for internal testing but the design and user flow had not yet been completed. My company wanted me to help evolve the product and tailor it in a way so that coaches could easily set it up and start communicating with their teams. This involved implementing new functionality and creating a new user interface.

Design Process
I believe that good design should be user-centric as well as data-driven. It is not created in a moment of inspiration or a silo. It is instead an iterative process requiring collaboration between multiple teams.
My experience has taught me that the most successful projects are those that always keep the end-user in the forefront. It is easy to get attached to initial design solutions and forgo any additional research or testing but it rarely works. First solutions are often wrong because in the early stages it is hard to know enough about the problem you are attempting to solve. Conducting research, talking to users, collaborating with different teams and creating prototypes creates all help keep the project on track.
