TIBCO 3-Day Challenge

MAY - AUGUST 2017 (10 WEEKS)

Background

During my time as the interaction design intern for TIBCO, I was tasked with multiple three-day challenges. The purpose of these quick challenges was for me to rapidly research, design, iterate and develop high-fidelity design concepts. This opportunity allowed me to strengthen my design approach in a fast-paced environment. Within three days, I researched, found insights, iterated and presented high fidelity wireframes to the UX department. These concepts were created according to TIBCO’s wireframe standard in greyscale and focus on the interaction a user has with a product.

The challenges showcased included:

Phone Data Dashboard Challenge

Pattern Library Challenge

Application Dashboard Challenge

Phone Data Dashboard Challenge

Challenge

I was challenged to design a web platform dashboard for a cellular phone company for users to engage. This challenge was to be done within three days and was inspired to understand how data is visually represented.

Process

I started by researching current dashboards throughout the digital sphere. This research led me to determine commonly utilized visual representations to convey data. I then created ten low-fidelity sketches. With the ten low-fidelity sketches, I iterated and consolidated before generating the high-fidelity wireframes.

Pattern Library Challenge

Challenge

I was challenged with designing a pattern library that combined resources for both the UX and development departments. This three-day challenge was inspired by TIBCO’s need for a combined pattern library for all departments to reference and use while designing and developing current software.

Process

I started out by studying the current UX and development pattern libraries that TIBCO departments use. After dissecting these libraries, I interviewed UX designers and developers to find out the most used sections. With insights gained I began to sketch low-fidelity concepts of the pattern library landing page, example pages, and development pages. I then converted these sketches into a digital format and then presented to the UX department.

Application Dashboard Challenge

Challenge

I was challenged with updating the look and feel of a current TIBCO application product. This challenge was inspired by the popularity and the need to create a symmetry between all TIBCO products.

Process

Starting off this challenge, I began by examining the current TIBCO product, which had not been modified since the product launched. I quickly broke down the application into a hierarchy of tools and function used. I then sketched twenty initial iterations of each feature before combining to create a complete low-fidelity sketch. I elicited feedback from other designers by user testing each concept. With the feedback and insights gained, I narrowed the designs down, where I then created high-fidelity wireframes.

I Learned...

…how to rapidly collect data, find insights and produce visually appealing high-fidelity wireframes. This opportunity allowed me to strengthen my design process and make decisions quickly and accurately.
