UX Designer

As a UX Designer at Wing, your primary responsibilities include developing user journeys, creating mockups and prototypes, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance our Consumer App. You'll focus on defining user needs, validating design choices, and innovating user-centered solutions that improve the shopping and delivery experience in the B2C drone delivery space.

To qualify for the UX Designer role at Wing, you should have at least 5 years of experience in UX design, with a strong focus on consumer-facing applications, marketplaces, or e-commerce. A BA/BS degree in Design or a related field is preferred. Your portfolio should demonstrate a solid understanding of user-centered design principles and showcase high-quality work across various platforms.

Collaboration is key for a UX Designer at Wing. You'll partner with product managers, engineers, and user researchers to build insights into user journeys and leverage feedback to enhance our designs. Regular workshops, meetings, and cross-functional projects facilitate a dynamic collaborative environment, ensuring that all perspectives contribute to the product development process.

Our UX Designers at Wing use industry-standard tools such as Figma, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Proficiency in these tools is important for creating mockups, prototypes, and design systems that cater to our consumer app's needs and align with our vision of seamless delivery.

The work environment for a UX Designer at Wing is fast-paced and dynamic, much like a startup. You'll work in a hybrid setting, interacting with a globally distributed team focused on innovation and creativity. The culture emphasizes collaboration, motivation, and high-quality output, fostering a supportive community for all team members.

In designing user experiences for a consumer app, I begin by thoroughly understanding user needs through research and interviews. I create user journeys and flow maps to visualize interactions, focusing on intuitive designs that enhance usability and engagement. Rapid prototyping and testing feedback loops allow me to iterate and refine concepts effectively.

Certainly! I once worked on an e-commerce platform where users faced difficulties during the checkout process. I analyzed user feedback and identified pain points, then redesigned the checkout flow to reduce friction. By simplifying steps and offering clearer guidance, we increased the checkout completion rate by 25%.

I conduct user research through various methods, including surveys, interviews, and usability testing. I prioritize gathering qualitative insights from actual users to inform design decisions, ensuring that my solutions are grounded in real user needs and behaviors. This approach helps create products that truly resonate with our audience.

Feedback is essential in my design process. I actively seek input from stakeholders and users throughout development to validate my design choices. Constructive criticism helps refine features, while usability testing uncovers unforeseen issues, allowing me to make iterative improvements that enhance user satisfaction.

I prioritize features by balancing user needs with business goals. I use frameworks like the MoSCoW method—Must-haves, Should-haves, Could-haves, and Won't-haves—to categorize features. This helps align the team on key objectives and ensures that we focus on delivering the most impactful elements first.

I've worked extensively with design systems to create cohesive user experiences across platforms. I believe that a well-defined design system facilitates consistency and efficiency, enabling design teams to collaborate effectively. I regularly contribute to maintaining and improving design systems by integrating new insights and elements.

I measure the success of my designs through both qualitative and quantitative metrics. User testing metrics, engagement rates, and conversion rates provide hard data, while user feedback sessions offer qualitative insights into user satisfaction. By combining these methods, I can make informed decisions to iterate on designs further.

In a previous project, I noticed stakeholders focused more on features than user experience. I presented user research data demonstrating pain points and user feedback, advocating for adjustments that aligned our design with actual user needs. This resulted in significant shifts in our approach, ultimately leading to a more successful product launch.

For rapid prototyping, I typically use tools like Figma to create low-fidelity wireframes quickly. I iterate on these prototypes based on continuous user feedback, moving to high-fidelity versions as I refine the design. This agile approach allows me to uncover usability issues early and validate design concepts before full development.

I stay current by following industry blogs, attending webinars and conferences, and participating in design communities. Networking with other professionals provides insights into emerging trends and techniques. I regularly engage in continuous learning, applying new ideas to my projects to enhance the user experience.
