Redesigning User Controls for Geospatial Vectors
UNDERSTANDING
We conducted user research with internal user sets, "Planeteers," comprising advanced geospatial experts and professionals with basic geospatial understanding from industries like urban planning.
IDEATION
Design facilitated solutions with dev and product teams based on user feedback, focusing on creating intuitive, efficient tools for manipulating geospatial vectors, addressing key pain points identified during understanding phase.
DESIGN
Collaborated with dev team detailed wireframes and mockups emphasizing user-friendly controls, ensuring the tools were accessible and efficient for both advanced and basic users.
PROTOTYPING
Created interactive prototypes to validate test and refine the UI controls, gathering iterative feedback from "Planeteers" to ensure the solution met their needs effectively.
HANDOFF
Established dev and design agreement to utilize components from the Design System, ensuring consistency and efficiency in building the solution.
DELIVERY
Finalized and deployed the redesign solution for creating, editing, and saving geospatial vectors, significantly enhancing user productivity and creativity in geospatial data manipulation.
FOLLOW-UP
After delivering designs to the dev team, follow-up strategy is established to gather user feedback and iterate on the solution. By consistently engaging with users, we ensure each iteration is finely tuned to meet their evolving needs and preferences.
