Overview

Energy manager feature aims to promote sustainable living by raising awareness about energy and water consumption, providing actionable insights, and encouraging users to adopt eco-friendly habits. The design achieves this by creating an engaging, user-centric platform that simplifies consumption data and presents it in an easy-to-understand manner.

My Role & Process

Business value & Problem definition

Planning and leading discovery phase stakeholder meetings with R&D and PM teams.

Persona and User Scenario Workshop

Designing and facilitating workshop series to define detailed persona and user scenarios to prioritize the feature set and create the UX direction.

Analyze & Ideation

Defining the user journey and mentoring the design team during UI design process.

We tried finding answers for following question during our ideation phase:

  • At what points do energy saving motivations come together?

  • What are the challenges, expectations, motivations and desires of these users in their daily lives?

  • How can we produce solutions/ideas to encourage more sustainable and economical living practices and will lead to new habits as they are used in the long term?

At the end of the workshop series, we came up several ideas with marketing, product management and R&D teams. We refined the results and converted the outcomes into design insights and delivered a user journey map as a guideline for our UX&UI design process.
