PROBLEM STATEMENT

Rocket Lawyer lacked an original, initial proof of concept native mobile application as a platform for it's digital document system, and the annual SXSW festival was selected as a demonstration opportunity.

GOALS

  • Research, design and deploy a native app to handle NDA documents for demonstration at SXSW.
  • Deliver optimized engineering and product processes to pressure test engineering and product workflows and technical capabilities.
  • Establish an iterative process to ensure continued research testing and feature definition.

DESIGN RESEARCH

  • Worked with product managers and engineering to establish conversion path opportunities.
  • Create whiteboard journey maps, low fidelity wireframes, and functional prototypes for early user testing.
  • Iterated on designs and meet with stakeholders to refine progress and evaluate new features.
No items found.
I conducted whiteboard sessions with engineers and product managers to discover design opportunities.

DESIGN PROCESS

  • Led Product team through personae, journey maps, wireframe, and other early product definition sessions.
  • Iterated with public view of all wireframes and app states (see figure below).
  • Conducted ad hoc UX research while at SXSW, returned with future product backlog features.
I moved from journey maps of the application context, to wireframes of the mobile experience, to day-to-day iteration on ux and product development.

SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES

  • Made deadline to submit to SXSW and attend to demo the app with CEO.
  • Deployed initial successful mobile app available on app store.
  • Created high level journey map from preliminary discovery.
