My Role as Product Designer
I led the end-to-end design process for Subo, from early concept sketches through to high-fidelity prototypes and developer handoff. This included:
User Research & Insights — Conducted interviews and usability tests with early adopters to uncover pain points in managing multiple smart devices.
Information Architecture — Designed a unified navigation system and dashboard hierarchy that reduced task completion time by over 40%.
Interaction & Visual Design — Created intuitive controls and gesture patterns, ensuring the interface felt effortless whether on mobile or tablet.
Prototyping & Validation — Built interactive prototypes in Figma to test new flows, iterating quickly based on feedback.
Cross-Functional Collaboration — Worked closely with developers to ensure design fidelity, and with product managers to align features with user needs and business goals.
Design System Creation — Established a modular design system to ensure consistency and scalability across future features.
My focus was on balancing aesthetics with usability, ensuring that Subo not only looked beautiful but made device management simpler, faster, and more enjoyable.
