UX Design Lead

MY ROLE

Lead UX Designer working closely with several product managers to provide visual design and improve the overall user experience. I also provided advice to enhance the UX, aiming for a design that made sense and connected with our users.

BACKGROUND

When NuVasive and Globus Medical merged, they needed a sales app to combine processes and make it easier to cross-sell products. NuVasive had their own sales apps, and Globus had made some early versions of a system they never finished. We needed to create one app that would unite both companies.

WORKFLOWS

In a few short months, I dedicated my time and creativity to designing approximately a hundred screens using Figma. This endeavor also involved the creation of a comprehensive component library consisting of essential elements such as color palettes, typography variations, form fields, buttons, navigational structures, cards, lists, icons, menus, dialogs, and login screens.

At the same time, I was defining the user flows through various pages and screens due to a tight deadline.

UX DESIGN

Since the companies had only recently combined, I didn't have much branding to work with. I looked at Globus Medical’s branding and made a basic color palette to match.

In a short time, I designed an entire library of components in order to facilitate a future design system and to expedite development.

I used Material Design 3 as a foundation for my styles and built the app in Figma.

OUTCOME

Due to cost cutting after the company acquisition, I was part of a huge downsizing effort across the new company. My plan was to conduct usability sessions with users, since that was not part of the original plan, to validate the design.

I meticulously structured the design with the foresight of portability for patterns and components into a comprehensive design system. My ultimate goal was to establish a robust design system that would seamlessly underpin and enhance this app's user interface.
