Brief: To bring UX/UI design expertise in-house. Adding consistency and fluency to visuals and process.

Solution: Set up weekly kickoff and review sessions on Monday and Friday respectively with the product owner and the CTO. So that the design sprints are relevant to the development and product roadmap.

Using wireframes, for initial concepts, and a quick way to reiterate ideas and action stakeholder feedback. Making sure wireframes are signed off before moving on to hi-fidelity visuals.

Creating interactive prototypes, and preparing files ready for handoff to the development team.

Taking the lead in the feature kickoffs. Walking the engineering team through the visuals and prototypes, discussing the design documentation and fielding Q&As.

Key impact: Rebuilt the Enclave Design System in Figma, eliminated inconsistencies in designs and created one source of truth for the portal.

Created better links with the engineering team, improving the processes and procedure for design/dev handovers.
