Defining success: Kick off session with core stakeholder group where we aligned on organisation objectives and defined success.
Idea generation: We held stakeholder workshops to gather subject matter expertise & capture ideas for the FOW user journeys.
Technical feasibility: We facilitated sessions with FOW’s technical lead to understand technical constraints to ensure our solution is feasible.
Design inspiration: We helped stakeholder articulate their vision for the platform by sourcing mood board design inspiration, to align on a design style.
Knowledge board: After conducting comprehensive research with stakeholders, including 1-1 interviews, multiple workshops and a competitor review. Insights from these activities were compiled into a knowledge board to inform the subsequent design phase. We synthesised both our primary research and FOW’s prior research, consolidating the insights into a unified report.
Discovery report: Our discovery phase concluded with tangible outputs, which we presented to the C-Suite to align stakeholders on the product vision. This milestone meeting included presenting key deliverables and demonstrating how each piece of research informed the strategy.
The outputs included an insights report, competitor review, personas, persona flows and the new proposed information architecture.
Information Architecture: We proposed the new information architecture based on our research, designed to improve the User Experience and content findability. We collectively prioritised the pages, which laid the foundation for the subsequent design phase.
UI design: Explored various design directions to apply the FOW brand, and aligned on the best fitting style, which we applied to the product. We designed the marketing website with modular components that could be used as building blocks across the website, enabling the FOW team to create & update pages independently.
Component library: Created a comprehensive style and component library for the product, logging each modules individually. The modular system allows for easy reuse and combination with other modules, empowering FOW to create new product features using the components without external support.
