USER INTERFACE DESIGN

UI for Web App - Lockstep HQ

←Slider. Tools: Figma, Fullstory, Zeplin, Adobe CS, Whimsical. 2018-2019

I was solo UI/Web Designer in Seattle fintech startup, building an email based accounting web app. I planned and designed feature flows, app prototypes, interface patterns and launched the Lockstep website.

Invoices in emails? Accounting email address is the way companies exchange invoice and payment information as well as resolve inquiries, disputes, and reconciliation. Lockstep is a collaborative workspace that gives accounting teams one place to connect with vendors and customers.

Most requested action by accountants was automated approval workflow. I created task flow charts and collaborated with stakeholders for shared vision. As a result the Approval become one-click request using approval template and automated data retrieval making the process of approvals trackable and easier for accountants.

Visual Id: Kabobs Plus Food Trailer

Kabobs Plus food trailer will serve authentic punjabi food inspired by family recipes from Lahore, Pakistan. Kabobs, currys and pakoras are full of flavor and bursting with exotic spices. Inspiration: Basant is a large annual kite festival that celebrates the coming of spring in Lahore. People celebrate by flying beautifully colored kites. There are many local fairs where friends and family meet and have delicious things to eat.

Testing prototypes in User Research Study

I created interactive Axure-prototypes to share with the team and validate product with REAL users in a User Research Study. I participated in study to get insights on user needs, expectations and reveal areas that needed improvement.

One of the challenges, was educating first-time users how to interact with the product and explain common features. After analyzing the study, we added a useful and clear onboarding intro and improved visual hierarchy for intented audience. Product launched as Alexa For Business in November 2017.

Tipbit - Mobile iOS7 App

Tools: Adobe CS, InVision. April 2014 – December 2015

UX/UI Designer for native iOS productivity app, that combined email, calendar and social profiles with powerful contextual search.

Wireflow to Discover Interactions

My first task was to create better flow and navigation between various app features. I started by creating low-fidelity boxes, that I often scribbled on paper during team's daily stand-ups. Then I gradually went into more detailed versions and combined wireframes with user interactions. Along the process, I created a iOS pattern library in Illustrator so I could quickly create work flows to share and test. I created online prototypes in InVision to test interaction with the team.

Tipbit - Useful Navigation and Email Filters

The first version of Tipbit only had a side drawer navigation forcing users to go back and forth from mail to contacts to calendar. I placed a segmented control on the top bar, allowing users to instantly switch to different parts of the app. Our existing users liked that we kept many existing buttons in bottom bar as is, which was easily reachable with thumbs.

One of my desires was to refine Tipbit’s email filtering interface. I wanted offer users some predefined options to find emails faster and invite them to explore this unique feature. To define relevant filters, I collected user behavior data from the Localytics app. I also explored modal overlay to show filters as visual action buttons.
