What did I do?

I worked with PM Trevor Fullwood and Design manager Sean Crowe to come up with the strategic direction for this initiative. I worked closely with Divvy designer Morgan Williams, who was working on a re-design of the Divvy Home page while I was working on this project.

I collaborated with the Bill.com Experience Foundations team to define and align the strategies for notifications across the One Stop Shop offering and the standalone Bill.com product.

I consulted with the Onboarding and Mobile teams to shape our shared strategy for how a new Home page would function for new users and in our mobile apps.

I put together research plans, conducted moderated interviews, and tested design concepts with the help of my UX Research counterpart, and worked with Content Design to ensure that my content was clear and consistent with our brand voice.

I worked with the Design Systems team to implement our brand-new Design System into this project, and to contribute necessary components and documentation to the Design System.

I worked closely with the engineers on my squad to determine the technical feasibility of my ideas and scope the work for contributing new components to the design system.

When I wasn’t in zoom meetings doing all of the stuff I just listed, I designed the interface for this thing.

Before my team got started on this project, we realized that we had some pretty large gaps in our understanding about the ins, outs, and what-have-you’s of the typical workflows in a financial back office. We understood well enough what Divvy did for folks, but Divvy only represented a small part of the day-to-day work of our customers’ finance teams. So we rallied around a few key questions:
