The Process
Research and Discovery
Stakeholder Interviews: I conducted interviews with Vodafone executives, product managers, and technical leads to gather insights into business goals and user needs.
Market Analysis: I examined different markets to understand cultural nuances and technological constraints.
Competitive Analysis: I reviewed of competitors’ identity solutions to identify gaps and opportunities for differentiation.
Usability Testing: I planned and conducted usability testing sessions to gather feedback on the existing Vodafone Identity service solution and identify areas for improvement.
Key Insights from Research
Users value simplicity and security in Identity Verification solutions.
Cultural sensitivity and localization are essential for building trust and adoption in diverse global markets.
Scalability and adaptability are critical to meet the evolving needs of users in regions with varying levels of technological infrastructure.
Documentation: I created UX documentation for the existing Vodafone Identity service products. I collaborated with cross-functional teams, including developers, product managers, and stakeholders from different markets, to ensure we were all aligned on the project requirements.

Visual Design, Design System, and Prototyping
Wireframing
I created low-fidelity designs to outline the basic structure of the identity service interface.
Prototyping: I developed clickable prototypes used for internal reviews and usability testing.

User Interface Design
User Interface Design: I created high-fidelity designs focusing on aesthetics and user interactions.
Design System: User interface designs were created using Vodafone’s well-crafted Design System.
Designing with “Source” streamlined my workflow, ensuring consistency and efficiency. It provided all the necessary tools and guidelines for creating user-friendly experiences that align perfectly with the brand.

Usability Testing and Iteration
Testing Sessions
We conducted tests across various markets on a soft launch of the
redesigned ID flows.
The new onboarding solution tested positively when compared to the existing experience.
