Context
Graphika is a social intelligence company that wanted to transform its service-based model into a SaaS product. I joined as a Senior UX Designer to design the experience from the ground up, working within significant technical constraints as the backend was being rebuilt.
How I approached this project:
- Synthesized previous research and conducted user workshops to define three product spaces.
- Facilitated cross-functional alignment through design sprints and a phased roadmap.
- Designed within technical constraints using an iterative "ship fast, learn fast" approach.
- Built a design system to ensure consistency across a distributed engineering team.
Results:
- ~20% reduction — in time clients spent contacting support for data requests.
- Weekly → daily — analyst insight delivery.
- ~90% daily active users — within the first month.
- Design as strategic function — established within the organization.
