Time

January 2019 - June 2021

In 2019, I assumed the role of Lead Product Designer at Groove, drawn to a team committed to shaping an unparalleled customer support system. My initial focus involved a strategic overhaul, reconstructing the foundation with a comprehensive design system for the main app. Emphasizing a user-centered approach, I navigated the complexities of enhancing the app's UX. Extensively testing design solutions and leveraging both qualitative and quantitative data, we fine-tuned the user experience to meet and exceed expectations.


A significant milestone in this journey was the complete redesign of the native iOS mobile version, ensuring support agents could enjoy an equal or superior experience while on the go with our email support app. Two and a half years later, my team and I have positioned Groove as a leader in the customer support system landscape, marked by an evolved design that prioritizes user satisfaction and efficiency.

The primary challenge was the intricate task of elevating the user experience within the mobile app. The complexity lay in the multifaceted nature of user-centered design, where we delved deep into understanding user behaviors and preferences.
