Mind Meld
Using moderated group sessions, design thinking and other creative methods, the best ideas are brought forward.
These ideas are then rapidly iterated upon, combined and synthesized using the SCAMPR framework to get them ready for prototyping.
Industrial Design and Hardware
The JWO hardware is just as important as the apps and software. I worked with the hardware manufacturer to produce several prototypes of the hardware to ensure a premium but rugged platform that performs well and has high visibility.
Real world testing then refined the final design before signoff.
Experience Design
Kiosk platform
Mobile app
Loyalty, wallet and digital ID integration
Credit card payment platform
These were the platforms that were designed from the ground up to create a fully original and tightly cohesive experience for the JWO paradigm.
Acceptance Testing
Prototype kiosk with analytics and video recording: 10 locations across the US
Mobile app multivariate testing
Payment processor testing
Edge cases and limits

Annotation
The Engine that Powers JWO
The leadership suite and myself identified improvements to the annotation suite as the biggest area for competitive gains. Using the DOKR framework and applying service design principles, I led the design and product teams in overhauling the annotation engine to a more efficient system.
The improvements resulted in more than 50% cost and time savings, and faster annotation due to lower error rate and user frustration and fatigue.
