Leading with Design
As the lead designer at Pathbrite, I provide guidance to our creative team, but remain deeply immersed in designing, coding prototypes, and animating interactions. I take pride in fostering a very collaborative relationship with our engineering team. Additionally, I’ve become increasingly involved in the product-planning and strategy work, and have successfully moved our product toward simplicity and a higher focus on solving core needs of our users.
Marketing Design & Strategy
When I joined Pathbrite, we were in need of a better way to communicate the product’s benefits and vision. I applied behavior-centric techniques to improve on-boarding and increase retention. First, I re-designed our marketing website to introduce the product benefits through compelling visual storytelling. This has significantly increased our signups and added a way to capture sales leads. Next, we started utilizing split-test email & social campaigns to gain understanding of our users’s needs. Additionally, we made the product more sticky by building-in habit forming behavior loops, which utilize a combination of social rewards and gamification to promote interaction. Most recently, we introduced action-triggered emails, that guide and encourage users to finish what they’ve started, and reveal social data to entice deeper product investment.
