I was assigned to several different product categories, with core teams located across the globe, including India, the USA, Canada, and Sweden. As a Senior Designer, I was well-versed in collaborating and leading design processes at a global level, effectively communicating and collaborating with various stakeholders and teams across disciplines.
According to the Product Owner and Management, the goal was to extensively upgrade the current products and ensure that the interface and design language were well-aligned. This involved building a design system and library in collaboration with my local colleagues based at the headquarters.
My role
Working with different HMI projects. I was responsible for designing the UI interface and creating different user flow for different product chains. I delivered a few interactive and responsive designs, by close collaboration with SH, PO, and developers.
Background
This company provides products and solutions for use in recreational vehicles, pleasure boats, workboats, trucks, premium cars and for a variety of other outdoor activities.
When starting a new project, I am often onboarded to a team spread across multiple continents. This involves receiving a brief overview of what the team perceives as the core problem and their initial assumptions about potential solutions or areas needing support.
Initial Steps:
1.Research and Evaluation:
I begin by conducting thorough research and evaluation. This includes analysing the product, market, project scope, and customer needs. Gathering insights is crucial for setting a solid foundation for the project's requirements, tasks, and objectives.
2. Engagement with the Team:
I interact with team members to understand their perspectives and gather detailed information. This helps align our goals and ensures that all aspects of the project are well-understood from the start.
Common Outcomes of This Phase:
Define the project's scope and technical parameters.
Summarise the key objectives and challenges.
Evaluate the existing product's condition and identify areas for improvement or innovation.
Conduct interviews with stakeholders & customers to gather insights
Establish preliminary requirements to guide the design and development process.
Identify potential risks and dependencies that could impact project success.
Explore various possibilities and innovative solutions to enhance the product.
Outline the initial set of deliverables to be completed during the project phase.
This structured approach ensures a comprehensive understanding and effective collaboration, setting the stage for successful project execution.
The ideation phase and concept iteration process varied based on the product, project status, and specific requirements. However, several core activities were consistently part of the early design phase:
Key Activities:
Developed initial concepts through sketching and low-fidelity wireframes. Engaged in quick UI iterations to finalise concepts for the detailed design phase.
Conducted concept iteration and review workshops to refine ideas collaboratively.
Created necessary graphical elements and components. initiated and developed the base of a design system from scratch when none was available, ensuring a cohesive interface design.
Addressed challenges due to limited access to various design tools.
Managed the absence of a centralised source of assets and a initiated a standardised way of working.
Final key use cases, and scenarios descriptions.
Conducted quick concept testing and validation through methods like guerrilla testing and A/B testing.
Developed the product's information architecture hierarchy.
Created user flow charts and product flow site maps.
This structured approach ensured that all design phases were thorough and aligned with project goals, even in the face of resource and tool limitations.

The first project was a climate control product for RVs with a 1,4-inch screen size. My main task was to create a new user interaction flow. The second project was for Air conditioning and climate control device for boats with a 2,4-inch touch screen that was connected to another 12-inch touch screen, I was responsible for designing the UI interface and creating different user flow as well as creating prototypes in XD, for both of these product chains I delivered an interactive and responsive design. I created user stories and scenarios for all of the projects with complete UI interfaces, prototypes, and UI guidelines. I had the lead role in all the projects and had close communication and workshops with the project managers, product owners, stakeholders, and developers.
Outcome:
Final Use Case specification: comprehensive documentation of use cases & scenarios ready for handover.
Delivery and handover of all design materials.
Delivery of development material & files.
Series of Handover, Check-in, Approval & Validation Meetings & Workshops: Coordinated sessions to ensure smooth transitions and validation.
QA testing of the final product: Quality assurance testing to ensure the final product met all requirements.
Delivery of the final Ui interface of entire user flow experience
