D I R E C TO R , U s e r ex perience STRATEG Y A Maker and an Administrator As a UX manager IĂ­ m concerned with excellent user ex per iences. I collaborate and build strong mul tidisciplinar y teams across the whole company and I institute and continually evaluate our U X processes. I also I help resolve company pr ior ities and roadmap our product vision.

As a UX designer, IĂ­ m daily in dif ferent stages of designing current features of a product as well as evaluating past iterations for coherence. I produce relevant content and design documents for use across depar tments.

In order to ef fectively practice user-centered design I use several dif ferent sk ill sets:

USER RESEARCH Under standing, through obser vation or testing, the ex per ience of those who use a system.

CONTENT STRATEGY Planning for the creation, governance and deliver y of useful, usable content.

Identif ying & organizing information wi thin a system in a purposeful & meaningful way

G o ve r n a n c e, i n fo r m a t i o n a r c h i t e c t u r e, concept models, content processes, d o c u m e n t a t i o n, pattern libraries, t a x o n o m y,

INTERACTION DESIGN Designing the interactive behavior s of a system, focusing on their use.

INTERFACE / VISUAL DESIGN Designing the aesthetically pleasing visual qualities of a system.

Focus : Fitn es s “Somehow when we’re all in it together it doesn’t seem so awful”

I am:

I wa nt :

I’m pretty active, but I’m looking for ways to improve my fitness

Obser vational study, personas and user journey maps (CafeWell, UX designer)

I really like working out with my friends. Somehow when we’re all in it together it doesn’t seem so awful I want to take it to the next level, but I could use a little push from time to time

Active Amy

A way to participate with friends in activities and programs

I couldn’t tell that I was making progress

To be supported by friends & support my friends

To track progress and see improvement & progress

I couldn’t use my Fitbit/If I had to buy a new device

To be inspired by others for new workouts and ways to keep fit

New ideas/tips & tricks about food, diet and fitness from others

I couldn’t find my friends or couldn’t be in a challenge / program with them

Encouragement & support from others

If I I could get started with something fun pretty easily

To use my Fitbit

I got bored or ‘ran out’ of things to do

I like to talk to other people and hear about what’s working for them

34 years old Owner, Clothing boutique Las Vegas, NV REFERRAL METHOD: A friend who is actively participating in a Reach for the Peaks program that’s sponsored by her work.

I would be upset if:

I ne e d:

To improve my fitness & stay healthy

I use a Fitbit, and I love that it automatically uploads my stats

Ca f e We l l o ppo r t uni t i e s : Getting Started • Let her quickly self-identify to be funneled to the correct content • Let her get started quickly – have smart presets to deliver results and let her tweak from there Setting Goals & Planning • Let her build a fitness plan - set goals, milestones, targets, healthy diets, etc.

• Allow her to use her own equipment (FitBit).

• Have a “coach” that could make recommendations for her on fitness & preventative health.

• Recommend new activities when she’s reaching the end of her scheduled activity.

Create Friendly Competition • Let her friends actively participate in the same activities that she’s participating in • Let everyone participate in every program/challenge/activity • Make it easy for her to invite and find her friends (tell her when someone she knows joins, recommend people she might want to follow)

Tracking Progress • Show her that she’s making progress over time and let her see her friends’ progress • Encourage her progress & let her give encouragement to others (high-fives) • Create ways for her to brag on her progress Relevant & User Generated Content Recommend new activities and health living ideas (from CafeWell and other people) Let Amy share her ideas with her friends and others – on the site and on other sites Let her recommend local activities that she and her friends could get involved in

• • •

Rewards Reward progress with new health gadgets/clothes/persk/etc.

Let her become a thought or activity leader over time. Allow others to see her this way.

• •

Registration

Connecting with Friends

Find Program and Challenges

Sign up for Challenge

Excited to be invited by her friend, Amy finds the registration long and the purpose for some of the information unclear.

Amy can’t figure out how to find her friend or any other people she knows and Global Search doesn’t work.

She cannot join the program her friend talked about. The Challenge pages aren’t coherent and have various content in different places.

Amy is confused but selects a few random challenges to get started. She wishes she had someone to advise her.

Though it’s not hard to join, Amy receives no instruction about how to succeed or improve.

Let everyone participate in every program/ challenge/ activity.

Support each challenge by illuminating ways to succeed.

She is asked for the same type of info in different places.

She doesn’t see evidence her answers mattered.

Make registration more simple and make the answers they do give matter.

Consolidate the information asked for and group under headings.

The site doesn’t help her find others she might know.

She cannot figure out how to invite anyone to Cafewell.

Make it easy to find and connect to friends Recommend people she might know on the site.

Encourage inviting others to CafeWell.

Group/reorganize Challenge pages.

Supply coaches and personalized information.

Challenges relevant to Amy aren’t recommended to her.

Recommend relevant challenges/posts/ communities etc.

Participation in Challenge

She sees little visual evidence of progress.

She feels little competition or camaraderie.

She does the challenge but doesn’t feel very encouraged or rewarded

Visually show progress of herself and others; encourage ‘bragging’

Discussion Boards

Post-Challenge

Amy is confused by the structure and function of the different Boards/ communities/ blog pages. She doesn’t know how to find content relevent to her.

Amy is not directed to a new activity after the challenge ends.

Push relevant content.

Recommend new activities to keep momentum up.

Consolidate and organize structure, AI, and naming conventions.

Allow encouragement and give rewards for progress and completion.

She doesn’t feel very rewarded for her efforts.

Reward her with gadget/clothes/ perks etc.

Specifically connect badges to actions and benefits
