User flows
Collaborating closely with the head of product, I played a pivotal role in shaping the direction of the Ad Manager Tool by meticulously crafting multiple user flows. These collaborative efforts were instrumental in consolidating our understanding of user interactions, enabling us to identify critical features and functionalities that resonated with our target audience. We fine-tuned these user flows through an iterative process, aligning them with user needs and overarching business goals.

Concept Wireframes
Once we had a user flow that met the business needs of the product, I leveraged our insights and transitioned into the user experience design phase for the Ad Manager Tool. The findings served as a compass, guiding the creation of wireframes that laid the foundation for our design. These wireframes became invaluable prototypes, allowing us to test and refine our concepts before delving into high-fidelity designs.

Product Design
The wireframes in the design process were instrumental in shaping the Ad Manager Tool. This helped me design a frictionless user experience. I strategically planned the hierarchical structure by translating insights from user flows and wireframes, placing key features for optimal user-centric design. This approach paved the way for a seamless transition to high-fidelity design, with wireframes as a foundational roadmap. Through iterative testing and user feedback, the final design emerged as an intuitive and cohesive experience for users hoping to create ads.

The Ad Manager Tool project was an extensive and collaborative effort that reflected the dedication and synergy of the entire team. Over time, we found a great rhythm, with each team member contributing their expertise to bring the project to fruition. The collective commitment to excellence resulted in the successful launching of a high-functioning product that met and exceeded expectations. Notably, the Ad Manager Tool significantly impacted ad sales, showcasing a 10% increase in performance each quarter.
I am very proud of this project. I joined this team as the first product designer; aside from having to design and build an ad management tool from scratch, it was also challenging to understand the ad ecosystem at Vox Media and how our networks and partners work to serve our customers' ads.
One of my favorite challenges I faced was helping our engineering team understand design processes so collaboration could be more transparent and inclusive. I created processes that included a cadence of design review, a feedback loop, design support for our dev team, and a transparent decision-making process with stakeholders.
