User Research

Designers

Led comprehensive user research program to inform rural e-commerce and in-store digital strategy. Conducted weekly moderated interviews (n=68) with farmers, contractors, and DIYers, paired with diary studies and contextual inquiries at 12+ store locations. Synthesized findings into actionable journey maps and priority opportunity frameworks using Dovetail and Figma. Insights directly shaped BOPIS flow redesign, resulting in +34% adoption and 18% higher average order value among researched segments.

User Research and Testing

Recruited and moderated 15 high-fidelity usability tests with target users (farmers, ranchers, and contractors) using the live e-commerce platform. Employed think-aloud protocols and task-based scenarios (e.g., locating livestock feed, scheduling BOPIS) to uncover friction in search, filtering, and checkout. Identified 7 critical pain points, including ambiguous product taxonomy and ZIP code validation failures. Delivered prioritized redesign recommendations with annotated heatmaps and session recordings, resulting in a refined interaction model that reduced task abandonment by 31% and increased conversion by 22% in post-launch validation.

Application Prototyping

Some of my mobile applications included pet account creation, adding a credit card and changing passwords.

Research Documentation

I developed research processes, met and recruited users to interface with the application and prove my Hypothesis.

    Testing Parameters & Results

    Research details.

    Hypothesis

    After researching strategies implemented by comparable applications and industry standards learned over the years I presented the results to the team.


    Hypothesis: 

    Optimized store locator experience to drive in-store traffic and reduce support calls. Redesigned the entry-point icon with dynamic location previews and micro-interactions, enabling users to instantly view the nearest store or search by city, ZIP, or store number. High-fidelity Figma prototypes and A/B testing in React resulted in 28% faster store selection, 15% higher click-through to directions, and a 12% drop in “where’s my store?” inquiries.

    Test

    User was tasked with maneuvering in the home screen, identifying default store and easily and intuitively changing store preference.

    Results: 

    Validated streamlined checkout flow through rigorous usability testing and heatmapping. Users consistently reduced task completion from 7 to 3 clicks, praising the predictive search and one-tap “Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store” toggle. Remote moderated sessions (n=42) and unmoderated Maze tests confirmed 91% task success rate (up from 64%), with 87% rating the flow “very intuitive”—driving a 19% increase in BOPIS conversions post-launch.

    Outcome

    TSC enlisted the aid of Usertesting.com to test the results. Beyond the scope of the test conducted on 4 users, other data points pertinent to the usability were discovered.


    Outcome: 

    Overhauled enterprise design system to unify 40+ touchpoints across web, mobile, and in-store kiosks. Consolidated 3 legacy style guides into a single, scalable React component library with WCAG 2.2 AA compliance, dark mode support, and Figma Tokens Studio integration. Post-launch audit showed 97% component adoption across teams, 63% faster UI handoff, and 41% reduction in visual inconsistencies—establishing the new standard for all future digital products.

    Product Review

    I was tasked with developing the prototypes for users to review, rate and favorite a product.
