Discover and understand
When I started at Scitodate, Market Landscape was already built and in use.
My initial task was to discover and understand our users.
Next to understanding the user group, I analyzed the usability bottlenecks that occurred within the different flows in the tool.
Design improvements
Based on the initial discovery and analysis phases, the design improvements were focused on the following three points.
1. Improve the usability
The usability of the platform was significantly complex. My responsibility was to analyze the flows and to improve the usability of the different features.
2. Make it less overwhelming
First time users felt overwhelmed after logging in to the platform. There was no onboarding or logical flow to explore and understand the platform.
3. Re-use components
The platform was built out of components from the Material Design library. My task was to (re) use the components from the same library.
