Hotjar

Exploring the future of behaviour analytics.

In a nutshell

I worked with Hotjar in visualizing their new, engaging future product experience. The product vision was presented in form of a visiontype (vision + prototype), showcasing a set of user flows and collaborative cases within Hotjar and highlighting the most important interactions inside the tool. The product vision presented new forms of collecting, analyzing and understanding user behaviour, as well as a new way to report findings to stakeholders in order to gain their buy-in. Ultimately, the result of this project is currently being used at Hotjar as a “north star” to foster alignment across all teams, and serving as the foundation to work out the new, upcoming version of Hotjar.

What I did

Analyzed and audited current product
Run ideation sessions with stakeholders
Defined a desired future state (vision)
Reworked IA, interaction models and patterns
Designed a whole new product concept
Created a prototype
Recorded explanatory videos of use cases

Highlights / Results

Project completed in 5 weeks
Visiontype currently serving as “north star”, fostering alignment of roadmaps at Hotjar
Highlights, a new feature based in this project has been rolled out recently

Zooplus

Transforming Europe's leading pet online shop from inside.

In a nutshell

I joined Zooplus as their first UI/UX design expert, and during 3 years, I helped redesign the platform across all channels, leading its transition into what it is today. Among my key contributions were building a design system, establishing design processes and helping build/scale a product design team. I also took a leading role in advocating for the strategic value of design and fostering a design culture inside the organization. On the operational side of design, I analyzed page insights and user behaviour, conducted user research, and designed, tested and validated new alternatives, features and MVPs — for the website and for the apps.

Worked iteratively to redesign the complete platform
Helped foster a design culture across Zooplus
Built and scaled a design team
Conducted CVR optimization
Run qualitative & quantitative user testing
