THE CHALLANGE

We started by defining our users, the problems we were solving, and the values the product should stand for. After my workshop question was clear, how might we enable teams to capture actionable feedback in context with minimal interruption?

COMPETITOR RESEARCH

By analyzing existing platforms, I identified a clear opportunity: the addressable market was large, but competitors consistently lacked functionality to cover user needs.

USER RESEARCH

Through user interviews, I explored how teams report visual defects and track updates, uncovering key pain points such as exhausting context switching, imprecise visual feedback, buried conversations in chat tools, and unclear status visibility.

VISUALIZING USER-WORKFLOW

We created hierarchical task diagrams to map how teams report visual defects and how QA tracks changes, highlighting additional steps required for complex issues.

LEARNINGS

  • “In-context” beats “more detail” so the UI should mirror the real workflow moment users are in;
  • Rely on discovery and synthesis to define the workflow before proposing solutions;
