Role

UX Product Designer 

  • Led end-to-end UX design

  • Conducted field research and usability testing

  • Defined information architecture

  • Designed interaction patterns and UI

  • Collaborated with product, engineering, and operations teams

Platform
iPad (Field Service & Measurement iPad Application)

Overview
 

Field service teams conducting in-home measurements relied on paper-based workflows and fragmented tools, leading to delays, errors, and inconsistent data capture. The business needed a single, reliable iPad application that would help field staff:
 

  • View daily job schedules

  • Capture accurate room measurements

  • Annotate layouts visually

  • Sync data back to stores in real time or offline
     

This application was designed to support end-to-end field workflows, from job assignment to measurement submission.

Problem Statement
 

Field users faced multiple challenges:
 

  • High cognitive load when managing multiple jobs per day

  • Inconsistent measurement documentation, causing rework

  • Poor visibility into job status (pending, completed, sent)

  • Low tolerance for complex UI due to on-site, time-constrained usage

  • Offline dependency, as many homes had unreliable connectivity


Design Goals
 

  1. Enable quick job comprehension at a glance

  2. Reduce time spent per appointment

  3. Support accurate, visual measurement capture

  4. Minimize errors and missed steps

  5. Ensure usability in real-world field conditions

 

User Research & Insights

Methods
 

  • Contextual inquiry with field measurers

  • Ride-along observations

  • Stakeholder interviews (operations & store teams)

  • Analysis of support tickets and rework cases
     

Key Insights

  • Time is the most critical factor—every extra tap matters

  • Visual confirmation (drawings) builds user confidence
