As part of Asurion's innovation team, I worked closely with four engineers, an innovation director, and a product manager to drive product development forward. My responsibilities included leading UX design efforts for mobile, desktop dashboard, and SDK platforms, encompassing content, interaction, and visual design. Additionally, I created the branding for Disco and provided quality art and UX direction to engineers.

The contrast of Internet Quality Between “What I Have” and “What I Need.”
Information Architecture - MVP
On-Boarding User Flow - MVP
Content Exploration
As the product's key feature, the dashboard was a crucial component of the design. After several collaborative sessions with the team, we developed two distinct concepts that best met the needs of our users.
Low Fidelity Onboarding Wireframe
High Fidelity Key Screen Wireframe
Remote Usability Testing
Our testing goal was to evaluate whether our app provided users with the necessary and helpful information, such as network performance and device details, to enable us to make improvements based on their expectations and needs.
COLLECT DATA
After launching the MVP app, we began collecting data from our testers and analyzing it to enhance both performance and the user experience.
We have categorized our devices into 10 distinct categories. Following a thorough analysis, we identified the top three categories: Apple products, Modems/Routers, and Entertainment - Audio/Visual devices. We have seamlessly integrated this information into both our admin dashboard and mobile application.
ADMIN DASHBOARD
We created an admin dashboard to enable better control and management of our data.
FINAL UI DESIGN
I created the logo, selected the font, and utilized the same color palette as Asurion.
