## Grounding instruction

Use only the supplied portfolio evidence. Do not invent experience, responsibilities, research, or outcomes. Distinguish direct evidence, contributed or team results, adjacent experience, genuine gaps, and unknowns.

## Positioning

Good products get tangled. I help teams untangle them, and ship lovable experiences.

I lead designers by continuing to design, helping teams make sense of complexity and move toward decisions they can stand behind. I use AI to accelerate exploration and sharpen judgment, not replace it.

## Availability

Open to senior/staff product design and design-lead conversations

## About

Canonical Human path: /about

### Who I am

More than my work.

While growing up in India, I was always looking for better ways to solve ordinary problems. That curiosity still shapes how I understand people, systems, and the stories a product tells.

Away from a screen, I like activities that make room for attention, experimentation, and a little mess: improv, bouldering, pottery, cooking, and fictional podcasts.

#### Outside work

- **Improv:** Improv is fun because nobody knows exactly where a scene will go. It asks me to listen closely, build on what someone else offers, and stay present when the direction is unclear.
- **Bouldering:** I love solving problems on the bouldering wall: try a route, read what happened, then reframe the next move.
- **Pottery:** I like getting my hands dirty at the pottery studio and making useful objects slowly, one decision at a time.
- **Cooking:** Cooking is another way I like to make: ingredients, timing, and a result I can taste.
- **Fictional podcasts:** I binge fictional podcasts that are strange, funny, or both. Two I keep recommending: Recommendations: [The Bright Sessions](https://open.spotify.com/show/1sSQt6a48M6t1mupfqnCnb), [Hello From The Magic Tavern](https://open.spotify.com/show/0FGOz929il130iXEwkInBa).

### How I work

I work as a player-coach: close enough to the product to make the work tangible, with enough distance to help the team see the system around it.

### Player-coach

Create enough structure for good decisions, then work directly in the product alongside the team.

- Stay hands-on with product work.
- Invite debate and ask the questions that clarify the decision.
- Use tangible artifacts to build shared understanding.

Project proof: [See player-coach practice in Design Management](/work/design-management#mechanism).

### Systems thinker

Understand the wider system before narrowing the solution, so local choices hold together as the product grows.

- Make constraints and tradeoffs visible.
- Use evidence to update the team's model of the problem.
- Turn complexity into a sequence people can act on.

Project proof: [See systems thinking in Data Solutions](/work/datasolutions#design-process).

#### Life outside work, inside the practice

- **Improv / Player-coach:** Listen closely. Accept what is offered. Build the next useful move without needing a complete script. That helps me collaborate through ambiguity: make room for other ideas, keep momentum, and adjust as shared understanding changes.
- **Bouldering / Systems thinker:** Each attempt provides information. Read the route and the result, then reframe the next move. I approach complex product problems the same way: test my understanding against real constraints, learn from what changes, and choose the next move.
- **Making / Practice:** Pottery and cooking both reward patience and timing. Pushing harder or faster does not guarantee a better result. At work, that becomes attention to sequence: make progress at the pace the material, evidence, and team can support.

## Design Management Through Change

> Owner-published case study. Written from an owner voice interview (August 2026) and owner-confirmed follow-ups. Colleagues are deliberately unidentifiable: no names, no gendered pronouns, no internal initiative names, no tenure markers. The skip-level evidence gap is recorded as an unknown rather than smoothed over.

Canonical Human path: /work/design-management
Project ID: project_design_management
Visibility: public

### Project context

Not “how do I run this team.” The team had watched several managers leave in six months and had no reason to believe I’d be different, or still be there in a year. Investing in a new manager is a bet, and they’d recently lost that bet more than once. So nothing I could say was worth much. Reassurance from the fourth manager in a year is just more talking. What was available was mechanism: things that would keep working whether or not I was still there, and that they could change without my permission. That’s the condition everything below sits inside. Three claims came out of it. When someone’s performance and their capability don’t match, something is in the way. Finding out what, before assigning blame and before prescribing a fix, is most of the job.

Problem: The team had lost several senior managers in six months with minimal handoff, across a ten-month regulatory review and the integration that followed. Institutional knowledge had evaporated, the norms that made the team work had stopped being anybody's job, and there was no reason for anyone to invest in another new manager. Reassurance was worth nothing; only mechanisms that would outlast me were worth building.

#### Audiences

- The six designers on the core team
- IC designers across HCP outside the team
- Engineering, product, and value engineering partners
- Design leadership funding headcount and setting priorities

#### Constraints

- The entire management tenure took place under acquisition conditions: prolonged limbo, unclear reporting lines, shifting priorities. There is no comparable period of normal operation to measure against.
- Several senior managers had departed in the preceding six months with minimal handoff, so there was no institutional memory of how the team had previously worked.
- Engagement-survey data ran on the HashiCorp side and then stopped, leaving no instrumented signal on team sentiment for the management period.
- Anonymity: three of the stories involve identifiable colleagues on a six-person team, two of them unflatteringly before they resolve. Roles, tenure markers, gendered pronouns, and internal initiative names are deliberately withheld.

### Role and capabilities

- Role: Design Manager
- Team: 6 product designers (core team), 4 senior and lead designers (extended team, one quarter), Engineering, product, and value engineering partners, Research manager and three researchers (hired into the new function)
- Timeline: April 2024 to Present
- Capabilities: product-direction, cross-functional-facilitation, research-synthesis

- Evidence: No approved public evidence linked.

#### Build a corpus of recorded AI practice across the org before writing any AI standards, so patterns are extracted from real use rather than assumed.
- Contribution: direct
- Alternatives: Publish AI usage standards up front
- Evidence: No approved public evidence linked.

#### Research context

The rest of the job is diagnosis. When someone’s performance and their capability don’t match, something is in the way, and it’s rarely where people are pointing. You only find it if people tell you things.

- None published.

#### Process

- Leadership wanted to PIP a senior designer.: The read: They weren’t pulling their weight. What was actually in the way: The work they were being given. This was before I formally had the role, during the conversations about me taking it. I asked one question. Were they being given enough challenging work to pull their weight, or were we shutting them down every time they brought a new initiative, and making them look like they weren’t contributing? The decision changed. Instead of a PIP, the org found them a different manager and a better-fitting context. They now lead a Terraform onboarding initiative, partnering across value engineering, product engineering, product and other designers. I asked the question; a different manager did everything after it. They never joined my team, so there was nothing in it for me.
- A designer doubted their own fit, not their effort.: A separate case, same pattern, lower stakes: a designer was hesitant about a new, high-visibility platform initiative. Not reluctant to work, doubtful about fit. This time the wrong read was their own. I named the specific thing they were already good at and where the initiative would need exactly that, which is different from telling someone they’ll be fine. Two months in they were thriving, and the work became the basis for a fast-tracked promotion. Placement mine, performance theirs.
- The last research team had failed and nobody had done the post-mortem.: The read: We need a research function. What was actually in the way: We’d fund the same failure twice. I ran it as a design problem. Interviewed people who’d been there longer than me, mapped what had actually gone wrong, identified which collaboration models with EPD and extended partners had held. Those findings became guardrails inside the funding case. I ran it alongside a newly joined designer I had real friction with, and coached them on org norms while the project ran rather than routing around it. That collaboration produced the case. Sixty days of investigation, about a quarter for leadership to secure reqs, roughly a month from interviews to offers. Four hires: a research manager and three researchers. Investigation and case mine; approval and hiring leadership’s.
- Someone on my team had burned their relationships with engineering.: The read: Their partners were being difficult. What was actually in the way: That, partly. Their reactivity took longer to become visible. Early on, it looked like ordinary friction with a couple of partners, nothing more. It took months for the pattern to become undeniable: once it had repeated across enough separate projects, the read changed. The partners weren’t the only variable. The IC needed direct support too. About a month of consistent coaching followed: reducing reactivity, stepping back before responding, and me taking some of the conflict directly instead of leaving them to absorb it alone. They were also unhappy about not getting high-visibility work, and there wasn’t any to give, which is the harder version of that problem. So rather than manufacturing visibility, we built a plan around a pain point they had identified themselves. Two things came out of it. A systematic sweep, run with other ICs, surfacing low-hanging usability problems that could be fixed immediately, now used by 100+ designers across the HashiCorp business unit. And a QA agent in Figma, built on IBM Bob, that runs against any file and returns a heuristic evaluation, an accessibility audit and design-system checks, putting the problems that normally surface in development or an audit into the designer’s hands at design time. Also 100+ designers, daily. They built both. The person nobody wanted to work with built the thing everyone now opens every day. While this was going on, my manager noted something I was already acting on: "handling challenging personalities on his team and providing coaching to them on how to handle situations in more productive ways." I had already started. That's what the middle of it looked like from the outside, and the review was right that it was unfinished.

#### Solution

A set of mechanisms rather than assurances: a team-editable working agreement whose central provision makes accountability peer-to-peer; restarted team ceremonies that had quietly stopped being anybody's job; an EPD retrospective framework with a quarterly escalation path to leadership; a hypothesis-led measurement practice on HCP with self-serve documentation; and an AI sharing series that builds a corpus of recorded practice before standardizing it. Underneath all of it, a diagnostic habit: when performance and capability do not match, locate the obstruction before assigning blame or prescribing a fix.

- A working agreement: One page. Culture, values, how we show up for each other. Editable by anyone on the team without asking me. Its central provision is that accountability is peer-to-peer, not manager-enforced. The team holds each other to it, not me. Making it editable wasn’t a gesture. A team that has lost three managers can’t keep its culture in a manager. If the document lives on my authority it leaves when I do, and they had every reason to plan for that. It was also the test. Two designers wrote their own versions, we worked through the differences together, and adopted what came out of it. A culture document nobody edits is one nobody believed in.
- The ceremonies, restarted: Anniversaries. Birthdays. Small things the team used to do that got lost in the churn, because they had quietly stopped being anybody’s job. Easy to dismiss in a case study. The reason it isn’t nothing is that noticing what had stopped was the work. Nobody asked, and nobody would have.
- A retro framework for EPD: Guidelines for running retros with engineering, product and design together, plus a quarterly path for findings to reach leadership. Retros that terminate in a document nobody reads are the standard failure. The escalation path is the design decision, and it’s what makes raising a problem worth the effort.
- A measurement practice for HCP: PostHog had been onboarded with nothing wired to it, a tool with no practice around it. Every project now defines three to five hypotheses and states how the answers would change the team’s decisions. That second half is what separates measurement from instrumentation theater. I wrote the documentation and tutorials so it wouldn’t route through me. Adopted by every IC designer across HCP, not just my team, taking coverage from two or three ad-hoc tracked features to double digits, on a 3/6/12-month review cadence.
- An AI sharing series: Everyone is adopting AI in individually invented ways, so nothing reproduces. I didn’t start with standards, I started a corpus. People present real problems and how they’re using AI on them, recorded and transcribed. Patterns get extracted from practice once there’s enough of it. Gaining traction; no outcome to claim yet.
- What I couldn’t cover: The working agreement governs how we treat each other. It has no jurisdiction over what the company decides. I had to tell an intern that IBM’s post-acquisition policy changes eliminated their full-time offer. Nothing about it was a performance call, on their part or mine, which made it harder to deliver, not easier. None of the mechanisms above reached that conversation. The agreement didn’t cover it. The escalation path exists to send problems up to people who can fund solutions, and this one came from up there, a policy decision, not a local one. There’s no version of the delegation thesis that makes it someone else’s to carry. It’s the hardest thing I’ve done in this role, and it’s the honest limit of everything above. I could design how this team worked. I could not design what happened to them.

### Reflection and limitations

#### Learned

- A hypothesis that keeps getting confirmed is what a wrong one looks like from the inside. The read that engineering and product were simply being difficult survived six to eight months because the partner friction was real, so every new incident looked like evidence.
- Culture that lives on a manager's authority leaves when the manager does. Making the working agreement editable without approval was the only way to find out whether anyone believed in it.
- Naming a specific transferable strength is a management action; telling someone they will be fine is not.
- A retrospective that terminates in a document nobody reads is the standard failure. The escalation path, not the retro format, is the design decision.

#### Unknowns

- No engagement-survey or skip-level data exists for the management period, because those surveys ran on the HashiCorp side and then stopped. The team's own account of what it was like to be on this team has not been collected.
- The owner reports the move into management as January 2025. IBM's acquisition of HashiCorp closed on 27 February 2025, so the role change precedes the close by about five weeks; the day-level transition date is not recorded here.
- The retention figure is owner-reported. The team's reasons for staying are not recorded, and attributing retention to management practice would overstate what is known.
- The AI sharing series is in flight. It has produced a growing corpus and no consolidated standard yet, so no outcome is claimed.

#### Would revisit

- Step into the partner conflict directly far sooner. The fix took about a month once it started, and it was available the entire time.
- Collect skip-level or team-side feedback while the period was still current, rather than reconstructing evidence about it afterwards.

## Data Solutions on Cloud Director

> Owner-published case study. Public copy and results are supported by the supplied source; underlying research and visual artifacts remain pending.

Canonical Human path: /work/datasolutions
Project ID: project_datasolutions
Visibility: public

### Project context

Customers seek to extend beyond the IaaS capabilities offered by VMware Cloud Director, with increased support for modern applications—particularly data solutions, a market IDC values at $103 billion. In the existing model, customers juggle diverse data solutions individually, amplifying the complexity of managing them outside Cloud Director.

Problem: Customers managed diverse data solutions independently, across disjointed interfaces and command-line workflows outside Cloud Director.

#### Audiences

- Cloud providers
- IT administrators
- Developers

#### Constraints

- Existing Tanzu Data Services did not share a multi-tenant management experience.
- Services behaved independently and some workflows were available only through the command line.
- The work had to support distinct provider, administrator, and developer needs in one product system.

### Role and capabilities

- Role: Design Lead
- Team: Product management, Engineering, Tanzu Data
- Timeline: June 2022 to November 2022
- Capabilities: product-direction, research-synthesis, interaction-design, cross-functional-facilitation

### Contributions

#### Unify data-service creation and management inside Cloud Director.
- Contribution: direct
- Alternatives: Keep each service independent, Continue relying on third-party tools
- Evidence: evidence_datasolutions_research_study, evidence_datasolutions_concept_validation

#### Use one creation flow with templates and a YAML path for experienced users.
- Contribution: direct
- Alternatives: Separate flow per service, Command-line-only setup
- Evidence: evidence_datasolutions_userzoom_interviews

#### Organize monitoring around visible health, usage, version status, and recovery actions.
- Contribution: contributed
- Alternatives: Service-specific dashboards, Status without recovery guidance
- Evidence: evidence_datasolutions_userzoom_interviews

#### Research context

Using a user-centered process, I worked with Tanzu Data Services teams, product management, and engineering to deliver the solution.

- Like the direction of having all data services in one place.
- Can you make the instance deployment easier and faster?
- Make it easy for me to understand the usage.
- I don't know how to take action on the upgrades based on the version status.
- This will help all customers who run their infrastructure on Kubernetes. Can we add some data services for VMs as well?

#### Process

- Customer Feedback: Built from customer feedback in the prior study, The Next Phase of Cloud Director using VMs and Kubernetes Clusters.
- Concept Validation: Validated demand for GUI-based Kubernetes data services and interest in open-source or VMware Tanzu offerings.
- User Journeys: Mapped the end-to-end journey for Bruno, Anita, and Shane to connect provider, administrator, and developer needs.
- Ideation: Worked across teams to explore onboarding, creation, monitoring, usage, version status, and recovery patterns.
- User Testing: Ran semi-structured UserZoom interviews with 32 users to test the direction and identify usability gaps.

#### Solution

An integrated, multi-tenant Data Solutions experience in Cloud Director with guided onboarding, a unified creation flow, flexible YAML editing, and centralized monitoring and recovery.

- Quick time to value: Easy onboarding and templates reduce the time it takes to realize value after the first interaction.
- Flexibility and Efficiency: A single creation flow and YAML editor support experienced users without overwhelming beginners.
- Easy Monitoring: A dashboard and error recovery make status, performance, health, and the next action visible at a glance.

### Reflection and limitations

#### Learned

- A unified product model can reduce the operational burden created by individually managed services.
- Templates and an optional YAML path can serve beginners and experienced operators in the same creation flow.
- Monitoring becomes actionable when health, usage, version status, and recovery are visible together.

#### Unknowns

- The owner-published page supports the public copy and results, but the underlying research, analytics, and visual artifacts are not yet available in this repository.

#### Would revisit

- Attach the underlying research, analytics definitions, and approved product imagery when those artifacts are authorized for publication.

## The Accu-Chek eCommerce Experience

> Owner-published case study. Public copy is verbatim from the owner's original case-study page (content/migrations/legacy-portfolio/cache/roche/scrape-raw.json); underlying research artifacts and post-launch results remain pending.

Canonical Human path: /work/accu-chek-ecommerce
Project ID: project_accu_chek_ecommerce
Visibility: public

### Project context

This project aimed to re-look at the current landscape of eCommerce offerings introduce a new seamless subscription and checkout process. Owned and led the entire process including UX Research, Interaction Design, Visual Design and Prototypes. Tools: Design Workshops, Adobe XD, InVision.

Problem: The purchase experience was inconsistent and cluttered, with too many CTAs, unclear product information, and a checkout that required three separate URL jumps and mandatory account verification before a customer could complete an order.

#### Audiences

- Accu-Chek patients (B2C)
- Accu-Chek healthcare-provider customers (B2B)

#### Constraints

- Solo designer on the engagement — no other designer to critique with directly.
- Any technical-architecture change required Global IT and Legal approval, typically over a quarter.
- The platform spanned both Magento and SFCC, limiting what could change in a single release.
- Payment stayed on a third-party Adyen page for legal and technical reasons; the checkout could only be styled to feel continuous with it.

### Role and capabilities

- Role: UX Designer
- Team: Marketing — New Distribution Models, Marketing — Digital Marketing, Marketing — New Business Models, Marketing Operations
- Timeline: May 2019 to December 2019
- Capabilities: research-synthesis, interaction-design, visual-design, accessibility

### Contributions

- Users were positive about using a Social Login to avoid account verification.

#### Process

- Design Exemplars: Because people already do subscriptions elsewhere! Referenced Dario, One Drop, Dollar Shave Club and Birchbox.
- Solution Exploration: Website Revamp: as the current experience is dated and needs significant improvement, this is the best place to start of a MVP. Improving the Journey: only designing a better looking website will not help unless the underlying process is not re-imagined — the idea is to consolidate all offerings under one roof and streamline the process. Design Approach: Mobile First Responsive Web Design (RWD).
- Ideation: My work spread over several months. I had multiple iterations for each module and gathered feedback from the product owners and developers during design critique sessions to iterate.
- Subscriptions: User Testing (A/B Test): 8 users via UserTesting.com.
- Checkout: User Testing - Round 2: 10 users via UserTesting.com. Feedback: 8 completed the tasks and were delighted by the new predictive approach; 2 couldn't complete the task as they found the process confusing initially but later understood the concept of "Suggested Test Strips".
- Design Handoff: ALL designs were made using Adobe XD. I leveraged the Share → Development feature to handoff all designs. Below is a design system that I created for the developers.

#### Solution

A consolidated subscriptions and checkout experience: a one-page Subscriptions flow, a Cart page that distinguishes subscription from one-time items, Social-Login sign-in, an adaptive Shipping page, a styled bridge to the third-party Adyen payment page, and an information-rich order Confirmation page — all under a revamped visual system with built-in accessibility accommodations.

- None published.

### Outcomes

- A round-2 usability test of the revised subscriptions flow saw 8 of 10 users complete the task and respond positively to the new predictive approach; 2 users found the process confusing at first before understanding "Suggested Test Strips." — Attribution: direct; confidence: supported; evidence: evidence_accuchek_usertesting_round2.

### Reflection and limitations

#### Learned

- Observing what users do in a test matters more than what they say — users said they wanted to buy a set of test strips, but mentally calculated a different quantity than they predicted while actually choosing options.
- Technology and its approval process shape what's achievable; the best MVP accounts for the current architecture while designing toward a further desired state.
- Running workshops with domain experts (marketing, legal, engineering) produced a better buying experience and made stakeholders less resistant to the resulting changes.

#### Unknowns

- The owner-published source states a goal of "more than 1% increase in current subscriptions" but does not report a measured post-launch result against that goal.
- No verified, current conversion or revenue figures exist in this repository beyond the pre-redesign 21% conversion baseline reported during the UX audit.
- Whether the full checkout and subscriptions redesign shipped to production, and when, is not confirmed.

#### Would revisit

- Attach the underlying research artifacts, before/after conversion data, and approved screen imagery when authorized for publication.

## Screenless Typing

> Owner-published case study. Public copy is verbatim from the owner's original case-study page (content/migrations/legacy-portfolio/cache/screenless/scrape-raw.json); the full publication citation and current study status remain pending.

Canonical Human path: /work/screenless-typing
Project ID: project_screenless_typing
Visibility: public

### Project context

Typing messages for the blind and visually impaired using the Voiceover QWERTY keyboard is difficult and time consuming. The challenges increase exponentially especially while multitasking. My Role: I lead the UX Research and Experience Design for Screenless Typing from August 2019 — facilitated a user study to understand the user experience of Keyflows v1, analyzed and published the findings of the study, explored alternative Keyflow layouts with a new input device, and prototyped the new keyflow layouts while planning a new study. Key Contributions: Interaction Design, Usability testing, Technology exploration and Research analysis.

Problem: Typing on the VoiceOver QWERTY keyboard is difficult and slow for blind and visually impaired users, especially while multitasking, since existing methods still assume a hands-busy, screen-centric device as the interface's anchor.

#### Audiences

- Blind and visually impaired users

#### Constraints

- The first Keyflow prototype (v1) was built before the owner joined the study; the owner led research and design from August 2019.
- The study used an auditory-only interaction model — no visual display could be assumed at any point in the design.
- Early hardware (a Myo armband) introduced interaction barriers that had to be designed around.

### Role and capabilities

- Role: UX Research & Experience Design Lead
- Team: Swaroop John, Tarang Gupta, Pegah Karimi, Sharvari Jalit, Dr. Davide Bolchini, Pooja Vazirani, Rahul
- Timeline: August 2018 to Ongoing as of the owner-published source
- Capabilities: research-synthesis, interaction-design, accessibility

### Contributions

#### Run an exploratory empirical study with 20 blind participants to evaluate first exposure to the screen-free Keyflow prototype, before iterating further.
- Contribution: direct
- Alternatives: Iterate on the prototype without a structured first-exposure study
- Evidence: evidence_screenless_user_study

#### Explore four new Keyflow layout models — landmark-based, vowel-assisted, character-scanning, and n-gram probabilistic — to reduce the cognitive load of the original continuously-looping A–Z layout.
- Contribution: direct
- Alternatives: Continue with the original single continuously-looping keyflow layout
- Evidence: evidence_screenless_user_study

#### Investigate the TapStrap v2 as an alternative screen-free input device to the original armband-based gesture input.
- Contribution: direct
- Alternatives: Continue with the original armband-based gesture input only
- Evidence: No approved public evidence linked.

#### Research context

This video is the first manifestation of an auditory keyboard called keyflow. In this prototype users had to perform gestures to interact with the keyflow. This was prototyped before I joined the study.

- None published.

#### Process

- Details: The letters are looped continuously by the keyflow in an A-Z order. These 26 alphabets are divided in groups of 5 called chunks. These letters are divided in chunks to get to a latter letter faster. The users perform simple combinations of gestures to select a character, skip chunks forward, go letter-by-letter backwards, delete characters and pronounce letters or words framed. Auditory and haptic cues (vibrations of the band) are also embedded to provide feedback to the user.
- Goals of the Study: I was a part of the research starting from conducting a user study: investigate the user experience and performance of people who are blind during their first exposure to a screen-free, entirely auditory keyboard; gauge their navigation behavior in controlling keyflows; understand the limits and potential of this approach to enhance the accessibility of typing.
- User Study: 20 users — exploratory empirical study with 20 participants who are blind.
- Results: Slow Typing — most participants were able to type at least one word in screenless mode but typing took an inordinately long amount of time. Self Reported User Experience: the convenience of keeping the phone out of sight; typing short messages on-the-go; users wanted to control the speed; users adapted to using a new system by the three navigation behaviors that emerged. Experience Breakpoints: the Myo armband posed barriers to optimal and fluid interaction.
- Discussion: The desired space of entirely auditory keyboards: liberated from screen but tied to time. Inefficiencies: linear structure, armband, cognitive load (attention fatigue). "Initial-typing" connected to the aural flow of suggested words. Keyflows have a broader potential for situations that require covert, concealed from view, silent aural text manipulation.
- Future Steps: Improving the efficiency of the Keyflow — nimble ways to model the keyflow to reduce the cognitive load. Action taken: new keyflow layouts were explored. Alternative screen-free input devices. Action taken: TapStrap as a device showed potential.

#### Solution

An evolving, entirely auditory keyboard (Keyflow) evaluated through a 20-participant blind-user study, followed by four alternative layout models designed to reduce cognitive load and an explored alternative input device (TapStrap v2), with a comparative Keyflow-vs-VoiceOver study planned as next steps.

- Landmark based: The landmarks enable progressive disclosure and larger selection areas. Applying Fitt's Law the window of time increases to make a selection.
- Vowel-assisted: Vowels are the nucleus of any word and recurrent in word-formation. This layout gives its users the ability to directly access vowels.
- Character scanning: The on-demand nature, compared to all other constantly running infinite loop, reduces the need for constant attention and hearing fatigue.
- n-Gram probabilistic: This layout suggests the most probable letters until three "grams", after which the keyflow switches to suggesting words.

### Outcomes

- In the 20-participant study, most participants could type at least one word in screenless mode, but typing took an inordinately long amount of time; three distinct navigation behaviors emerged as users adapted to the system. — Attribution: contributed; confidence: supported; evidence: evidence_screenless_user_study.
- The research is supported by a Google Faculty Research Award and a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant. — Attribution: team; confidence: verified; evidence: evidence_screenless_funding.

### Reflection and limitations

#### Learned

- Prototyping and evaluating for an Auditory User Interface (AUI) required tools like Amazon Polly and simulation video, distinct from visual-interface prototyping methods.
- Defining the interaction architecture for keyflows meant balancing feature richness against complexity, rather than maximizing either.
- Pilot testing and documenting results ahead of the full study helped identify where the system needed improvement before the real study ran.

#### Unknowns

- The owner-published source describes the comparative Keyflow-vs-VoiceOver study as a next step; whether it ran, and its results, are not recorded here.
- A precise end date for the owner's involvement is not confirmed in the source material.
- The full publication citation (venue, year, co-authors, DOI) is not yet in this repository.

## Campaign Management System

> Owner-published case study. Public copy is verbatim from the owner's original case-study page (content/migrations/legacy-portfolio/cache/imi/scrape-raw.json); underlying research artifacts and named-teammate confirmation remain pending.

Canonical Human path: /work/campaign-management-system
Project ID: project_campaign_management_system
Visibility: public

### Project context

The product was built incrementally over the years with only client and sales team feedbacks. Therefore it had become exponentially complex and difficult to use. My Role — UX Research: 4/8 user interviews, user testing, competitive research. Interaction Design: end-to-end wireframing, and prototyping.

Problem: The platform had grown incrementally on client and sales feedback alone, becoming complex and difficult to use. Marketing Managers understood campaign requirements but depended on an Operations team to translate them into live campaigns, creating a disjointed, back-and-forth workflow.

#### Audiences

- Marketing Managers (self-served)
- Operations staff
- Developers

#### Constraints

- An existing, deeply nested Information Architecture — Profit & Loss groups, Campaign Groups, Campaigns, and Follow-up Campaigns — had to be understood and re-modeled, not discarded.
- The platform was extremely data-heavy: deployment names ran up to 128 characters, and some users needed to track over 100 scheduled campaigns at once.
- The redesign had to work for three distinct user groups (managers, operations, developers) with different needs from the same screens.

### Role and capabilities

- Role: Interaction Designer
- Team: Lead Product Manager, Senior Product Manager, Design Lead, Visual Designer, Development team
- Timeline: May 2017 to December 2017
- Capabilities: research-synthesis, interaction-design, product-direction

### Contributions

#### Shift the platform from an operator-served model to a self-served model for Marketing Managers.
- Contribution: contributed
- Alternatives: Keep the existing operator-mediated workflow
- Evidence: evidence_imicampaign_contextual_enquiry

#### Use a radial Sunburst chart for campaign-performance visualization instead of stacked cards or a conversion funnel.
- Contribution: contributed
- Alternatives: Card-per-P&L performance view, Conversion-funnel visualization
- Evidence: evidence_imicampaign_contextual_enquiry

#### Redesign campaign creation as a node-based visual Canvas instead of a linear form.
- Contribution: contributed
- Alternatives: Keep the existing form-based campaign creation flow
- Evidence: No approved public evidence linked.

#### Combine a calendar view with a list view for campaign scheduling, after calendar-only and list-only explorations both failed.
- Contribution: contributed
- Alternatives: Calendar view only, List view with date filters only
- Evidence: No approved public evidence linked.

#### Research context

Existing IA: understood the current system and created the existing IA — experienced the product first hand and worked out certain scenarios and use cases of relevance to the end users and the stakeholders. High-Level IA: created a high-level IA by performing a card sorting exercise as part of the primary research; understood the mental model of the stakeholders and the end-user. Detailed IA: iterated on the high-level IA to detail out the final version of the IA and eventually the entire application structure — this drove the page level detailing.

- None published.

#### Process

- Process: undefined
- 01 — Dashboard Design: Since there was no clear understanding of the performance matrices of campaign(s) we decided to show the information as a dashboard on the landing page. We started to a very high-level block based wireframe which slowly got refined as had multiple discussions with the stakeholders. Rationale: this low level block diagram helped the stakeholders design with us, with their input being essential in every step of the way. Result: improved stakeholder buy-in — from comparing dashboard templates online to understanding how data models each visualization.
- 02 — Data Visualization Explorations: Option 1 — Card for each P&L: each Profit & Loss group had a performance chart with the tabular data present below its respective donut chart. Rationale: gives a high level view of the group both visually and textually. Feedback: there is no way to see more than more P&L group together or see the conversion. Option 2 — Conversion Funnel: to illustrate conversion the next chart explored was a conversion funnel. Rationale: gives channel level breakdown of the data and managers can look at "Sent" vs "Clicks" easily. Feedback: a conversion funnel is being used to track other processes on another platform — the goal here was to have a chart that is responsive and informative for the users. Final — Sunburst Chart: to utilize space more efficiently compared to linear hierarchical visualizations, the radial orientation of the sunburst chart works best and it is interactive. Rationale: all elements on the same level are regarded equally important, thereby eliminating the dichotomy between the elements on the periphery and center; since it resembles a pie chart, which most of us are familiar with, the Sunburst chart is intuitive in nature. Feedback: the users and stakeholders loved using a PoC version which had emulated data — we could hear them talk about the decisions they could make out of this.
- 04 — Listing Page Adaptations: Since the platform was extremely data heavy, we had to make a few adaptations to cater to the need. Campaign Group & Deployments: each Campaign Group has deployments in terms of follow-ups and new campaigns — the listing has two parts, Campaign Groups with the contact size and responses, and an inner table with deployment level details such as name, channel, status, etc. (P&L → Campaigns → Deployments). Deployment Name: the deployment names could go up from 64 characters to 128 characters — to get around the problem, I came up with the idea of putting ellipses in between the name. Example: fifteen_charac...teen_characters.
- 05 — Calendar View Improvements: Managing Information Overload: imagine having to manage more than 100 meetings on your daily calendar! Failed iterations: having only a calendar view; having only a list view with dates as filters. Solution: finally, we decided to create a calendar view along with a list view so that users can look at the calendar and yet see the campaigns running in the time selected.
- 06 — Campaign Creation Canvas: Forms → Canvas. Nodes: understood the atomicity of the form and broke the form down into free individual units called Nodes. Defining Properties: designed properties of the nodes based on what associated values can be captured and configured. Canvas: integrated all the nodes on the canvas by identifying the dependencies and how each is related to another in a specific flow. Canvas Nodes: leveraging Sketch's "Symbol" and "Library" functionality to speed up the workflow and maintain consistency — as this was a new concept compared to the current system, we decided it would be best to ideate with mid-fidelity wireframes in order to gather better feedback.

#### Solution

A redesigned dashboard (Sunburst-based performance visualization), a node-based Campaign Creation Canvas, combined calendar/list scheduling, adapted data-heavy listing pages, and a full wireframe specification and visual style guide handed off to development.

- None published.

### Reflection and limitations

#### Learned

- Designing with real data, not placeholder data, was eye-opening once multiple changing factors were involved.
- Product leaders and clients reviewed designs constantly, which meant sticking to higher-fidelity wireframes than usual throughout iteration.
- Weekly whiteboarding sessions with the product team improved the resulting design decisions.

#### Unknowns

- The owner-published source does not describe how the three metrics (navigation time, creation time, hand-off time) were measured or over what sample.
- A named Design Lead (Debahish Sahu) led the design effort; this repository records the owner's role as a contributing Interaction Designer, not the lead.

#### Would revisit

- Attach the wireframe specification document and visual style guide pages when authorized for publication.
