I am part of a 4 person design team. During my first six months, the app scaled at a blazing pace. Weekly iterations and new features were added to support our partners' needs, and active feedback from users ensured that we refined our product constantly. I was involved in UX research, wireframing, prototyping and creating final interfaces for design handoffs with developers.

  • A typical sprint begins by collaborating with the product team to refine feature requirements, analyzing the performance of existing designs, and taking user feedback before working on improvements.

  • I try to follow a goal-based design process to gain clarity over the intended outcomes from the design.

  • Once a new design flow is finalized, I test it with real users to check if their goals are being met and the design is intuitive enough for them to follow with minimal guidance.

The goal was to align Wiom's offering with the most important needs of our users. The Wiom Partner app should work towards motivating our partners achieve their goals and grow their businesses.

“How do real partners conduct their day-to-day business” was the starting point for deciding the user flows and prioritization of features for the partner app. After conducting user interviews and spending time with users to map out their daily routines, we created this persona that reflects our primary user, Annu Bhaiyya.
