Data-Driven Design
User Testing
Development Collaboration
After implementing the change, I gathered user feedback and made necessary adjustments.
Another primary challenge was creating forms that met the company's data requirements without sacrificing user experience.
My iterative solution prominently displayed required fields, while optional ones were nested within dropdowns. This approach ensured a user-centric design that effectively balanced data collection with a seamless user journey.

Team
1 PM, 3 DEVs, 2 Customer Service Reps.
I was hired to redesign Veem’s “Pay” and “Get Paid” features. The payment workflows were convoluted, resulting in low success rates and frequent user abandonment.
I focused on improving the confusing workflow, information architecture, and clarifying what information was required vs optional.
For Veem, these improvements are crucial to ensure secure, swift financial transactions, build user trust, and maintain a competitive edge in a market where user experience can significantly influence user choice and loyalty.
By offering a diverse range of solutions, from the structured guidance of a step wizard to the fluidity of a long scroll, and the innovative blend in the hybrid concept, I ensured a comprehensive approach to address the core issues
I presented 3 drastically different design directions to solve these issues.
Initial Direction
After conducting research interviews with 5 customers, to better understand their jobs to be done, I resolved the confusing workflow by cutting the steps from 8 to 4.
The workflows information hierarchy was improved with content organization and type weights to distinguish information and improving the customers focus.
I prioritized required information as the initial input fields and presented optional data through expandable carrot drop-downs.
Merging Analytics with User Experience
The Customer Service team was frequently employing "workarounds" to aid businesses in the sign-up process.
Through testing, I identified a need for a specialized workflow to enhance the payment information process, the goal was to streamline customer interactions and elevate their experience.
Improving Transaction Speed through Testing
A particular challenge arose with the implementation of the auto-suggest and predictive search feature. While the initial design was user-centric, it posed technical constraints.
