Product Design
Showcasing 2 Projects
Honeywell BW Precision
Tools
- Figma
- Invision
- Miro
Design Brief
The BW Precision was a safety product that needed a complete redesign before it was sent to production. The product was designed to be used to detect dangerous gases in confined spaces where there is no room for user error.
Contribution
As the sole designer, I worked with stakeholders and a global development team to recreate user flows, transfer the design work from Invision to Figma, build out the component library, construct weekly design reviews and more.
- Invention disclosure / patent pending
- Build out design system
- User flows (power on, user testing, monitoring, data retrieval)
- Lead design workshops
- Clickable interactive prototypes
Key Take Aways
- Taming the Hippo – (highest paid person’s opinion) organizing meetings to understand complex design problems and solutions while creating positive takeaways and clear next steps
- Design is Never Done – as a designer our job is to bridge the gap between stakeholders and developers and continue to improve a product before and after production
Honeywell BW Flex
Tools
- Figma
- Invision
- Jira
Design Brief
The BW Flex was a new product aiming to add connectivity to a simplistic, compliance safety device. Adding complexity to a small screen meant carefully organizing each user flow to reduce user confusion.
Contribution
I was the only designer for the BW Flex. I worked with Stakeholders and fellow designers to complete design reviews of user flows and interactive prototypes.
- Research target market and competitors
- Wireframes and user flows
- Build out design system
- Complete design reviews with stakeholders
- Design Information Architecture
- Create interactive prototypes
Key Take Aways
- Maximize Efficiency – the BW Flex was a very small screen, I created hundreds of iterations to perfectly nest each display and action to create the most seamless user experience
- Understand your resources – Designing a product with overseas manufacturing team creates many barriers that have to be worked through especially when adding specialty communication to a limited functionality device. Good communication, asking questions and technical understanding is key to moving at a swift pace and working well together.
