User Journey Map
Sample User Journey Map of the process to book accommodation for a construction company
Website
This is a sample welcome portal for a company's website. It lets employees know of any messages or notifications assigned to them, what they have on the calendar, and quick access to what research demonstrated were the most important buttons.
App 1
Designed the job information tab for employees to use on the company's app. Conducted research to learn about why they were not using the app. Found pain points with the layout and the ability to copy information. By adding icons to quickly copy the information on their phone, employees were much more likely to use it.
Dashboard 1
Sample dashboard correlating data from reviews and sales for each store for a large American corporation.
Dashboard 2
Dashboard created with survey data to explore satisfaction with the clients of a Wealth Management Firm<
