Overview

My role was to design features from zero to one and develop the UI for a responsive web app. I collaborated with engineers and designers on research and setting up the backend. My contribution led to increases in engagement and revenue.

Features

Here are some of the impactful features that I designed and implemented. For develpoment, the tech stack used was Next.js, Typescript, and Tailwind CSS. Contact me to learn more about the process for each feature.

0 Result State

Users kept landing on a 0 result page without any content or CTAs. This feature introduced a 0 result state, where users could go to different slug pages to view more jobs.

Component System

I worked on the building blocks for a design system. It was something we needed so anyone can drag and drop their ideas into Figma without a designer.

Reflection

There was a lot of features that made it to implementation. But, not all got a full release because it either got scrapped or didn't perform well in the A/B tests.

Here are the key takeaways while working on this product:

  1. The plan and roadmap is always adapting. New and existing features can get delayed to a later release date. Continue to communicate and stay updated with what's happening.
  1. Designs fail and that is okay. There is no such thing as a perfect solution, things can and will break during testing. Don't see it as a failure, but rather a lesson for the future.
  1. Change takes time. Be persistent and continue building rapport. Never stop advocating for the user. But understand that the business side of things can slow things down.
