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.

Strategy Development

Persona Creation: I developed user personas representing different user groups across markets to tailor the design effectively.

User Flows: I created user flows and sketches to identify essential steps and screens required for individual journeys.

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.
