This product was a great opportunity to be directly involved with the product development process, by pairing with developers and building an iterative product that delivered a usable but increasingly better user experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/1612564870885-11HGXB2DUQKGG78QWIGR/GHRN_Portfolio_Template.014.jpeg Allstate summary - Gig-economy app iOS and Android app development targeted at an established gig-economy network. The services provided were “soft-service” emergencies (i.e., jump start, tire change, fuel delivery, and lockout) serviced by independent contractors for existing Allstate Roadside Services customers through mobile digital dispatch. I joined the development team in enhancing the current mobile application with additional features and usability enhancements. https://www.alexandrasimmon.work/shared-mobility-details daily 0.75 2021-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/0f540de5-36ee-480f-b7d1-47010255d8da/SMS_Details.001.jpeg Shared Mobility - Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/8653dcdd-4f9d-41ab-a748-64ec17e603f0/SMS_Details.002.jpeg Shared Mobility - Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/5ac86ea9-98a6-45f3-ba13-ac0b91f62ef0/SMS_Details.004.jpeg Shared Mobility - Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/d335cb8a-2ce3-4e17-9d39-817be60e0212/SMS_Details.005.jpeg Shared Mobility - Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/036ee4cc-c931-43d5-b9d5-ea43e132b985/SMS_Details.006.jpeg Shared Mobility - Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/4bb84240-f456-4fe9-9cb2-282492c0f056/SMS_Details.007.jpeg Shared Mobility - Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/6834dcf3-57b9-40f2-b31e-991875fad631/SMS_Details.008.jpeg Shared Mobility - Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/21bb98d1-5eab-4906-b417-fff46155a4cc/SMS_Details.009.jpeg Shared Mobility - Details https://www.alexandrasimmon.work/ghrn-details daily 0.75 2021-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/1612651744202-V0I69EXTUIKQ64KDA3J3/GHRN_Portfolio_Template.012.jpeg GHRN- Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/1612651724071-UE8I9YGZQWMTN6DS6QOH/GHRN_Portfolio_Template.011.jpeg GHRN- Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/1612651237594-D01HMZKG4I67NN07S929/goa_thinking.jpg GHRN- Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/1612651781543-0KLGKI2AV1HQKIZZW0DE/GHRN_Portfolio_Template.013.jpeg GHRN- Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/1612651257498-F4244LC3NW4LCUGJBX8O/goa_flowing.jpg GHRN- Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/1612651677325-QXORH5QLI52VYQ4HNRSH/GHRN_Portfolio_Template.010.jpeg GHRN- Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/1612651410934-N22DCZIECDL70FPKNCSV/facilitation_single.jpg GHRN- Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/1612651376958-C3RXJFU3GQKTC59CI6ID/GHRN_image.001.jpeg GHRN- Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/1612651809670-J88N92CC6J0DGAEEGHVS/GHRN_Portfolio_Template.014.jpeg GHRN- Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/1612651218534-IDT1CLN1SAXVGJWUK1X6/flowing_goa.jpg GHRN- Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/1612651293739-TDGD3FLWPNY8SK1233I1/goa_flow_3.jpg GHRN- Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/41ab9bef-5831-4705-a1f0-50ca0661a5d3/ghrnimage.jpg GHRN- Details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/871498bf-b20d-4381-9fa8-8445a6f3303c/jumper_ghrn.jpg GHRN- Details https://www.alexandrasimmon.work/srp-summart daily 0.75 2021-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/1612644316888-RWON33DM896CZR9AEWLP/Screen%2BShot%2B2021-02-06%2Bat%2B2.43.29%2BPM.jpg SRP Summary - Product principles It was really important to me to ensure that the product we were building was being built around unified principles. After a few months of user research and a long D&F period, I created these principles. They have evolved over the course of the engagement, but foundationally remain the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/1612644667759-43GP57VO2BX3JE1XC165/Screen+Shot+2021-02-06+at+2.50.32+PM.png SRP Summary - Optimized for multi-user workflows One of the many challenges encountered was how to optimize workflows for users who needed access to different pieces of information and different times. We relied heavily on users to help us understand their current process as well as workarounds before we started iterating on solutions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601d8764e8475c7d8be39dcd/1612644939754-Q5CO3LM4UODEJ5NNO0LW/Screen+Shot+2021-02-06+at+2.55.01+PM.png SRP Summary - Don’t reinvent the wheel In an effort to be lean and not take on too much design debt, we leveraged existing open-source design libraries. We initially started with Google’s Material Design but ultimately moved to IBM Carbon which had a lot for enterprise extendable patterns and components.
