A mobile first approach was used as JAIMS‘ managment thinks that the App / mobile experience will be crucial for user adoption and success. Adobe XD was used for this project for its superior mobile prototyping functionality.

​The mobile first approach forced me to focus on key functionality without sacrificing features. This also meant designing two experiences one for consumers and one for the people who deliver the service, the freelancers.

Together with the UX intern we created an iconfont for the display of transport and weather. We chose to create an Axure Hi-Fi-Prototype so we could test various interaction patterns before development.

An Issues Overview Screen was added (using the tube-map-visualization of D3.JS) so that even on a very bad (busy) day no flight issues get lost.
The user can interact with the system to also perform a what-if analysis; if the user makes the timeline bars shorter or longer, upon which the system will automatically calculate and display the downline impact.

As the new Allianz brand-experience
is loosely based on Google Material Design, the developed components / interaction patterns were based on that.

The guiding principle was to put all effects of a dependency clearly visible on one screen. This resulted in 2 or 3 column layouts in which the boxes metaphor of the existing archtictural design was highlighted.
Moving the labels the google way inside / above the input field saved a lot of space which resulted in a more appealing cleaner layout.

Leveraging the power of HTML5 and D3.JS in order to design novel visualizations and interactions.
In the design I was able to leverage outcomes of my thesis (Antithesis) in the design of dashboard like solutions.

The Interviews led to a perception shift of the Energy Sector:
Energy traders not only want the best forecast, they also need options which are actionable.

Leveraging the power of HTML5 and D3.JS in order to design a novel user-interface where alerts are displayed using visualization. Each alert is clickable and links directly [Deep-Linking] to a planning book situation in SAP-APO.

Nestlé has 1000 planners worldwide.
The Quick-Alerts-Cockpit saves each of them 1 hour of work per week. The solution works on mobile, tablet & desktop and convinced Top Management of the importance of UX & HTML5.

After having received a data extract, I used Tableau to fast-prototype the alternative dashboard proposals.

The redesign replaces the four uppermost visualizations

The new layout displays more salient information while making the layout look less crowded. The quality team was very happy with the new proposal.

The interviews were conducted with me asking questions while a Wolters Kluwer employee took notes. The goal of the interviews was to better understand how construction lawyers structure their day and their work. 

The initial screens were helpful as an additional source of information which guided us in fleshing out the MVP. 

The thesis is basically an extended justification for closely considered, intelligently revised video used to test propaganda techniques, and also to debunk myths about carbon cleanliness of electric or hybrid vehicles. The video is kind of a “infomercial,” where the promoted recipient of the viewer’s patronage is an “eco” non-profit charity. The video was edited according to polls from a “focus group,” like that used for commercials, TV shows, movies, political campaigns, and consumer products.

The user-tests revealed an exceptionally high brand satisfaction (75% would highly recommend the AO Foundation to a colleague / friend). The validation of the Personas revealed that the most pressing problem of most users (mainly from 2nd world countries) are related to accessing the internet offerings through 3G internet connections using touch devices in hospitals.

By constructing the User-Journey-Map (shown below) we also found out that the secret to AO's success lies in fostering the career of the surgeons they educate.
