Creating a lasting design system

Working with the Creative and UX team members, I lead the establishment of a design system for web, apps and browser extensions. The design system for Ebates included Sketch libraries and interactive, web-based documentation with live code examples. I provided oversight and input into each component created for the system. Additionally, I lead the complete redesign of mobile apps and website.

Using tools such as Epsilon, Survey Monkey, Google Analaytics, and Tableau, I established shopping personas which reflected both the current and aspirational audiences for Ebates.

Establishing a user research process

Establishing a research process for Ebates, I employed tools such as UserTesting.com, Qualtrics Site Intercept, and Delighted. Additionally, I trained the design team in user research strategies.

Using the Delighted site survey tool, I collected the Net Promoter Score ratings for Ebates as well as Customer Satisfaction ratings with Qualtrics. During my time as at Ebates, the company maintained an 80 NPS and 94% CSAT ratings.
