eBay Motors

The eBay iOS Motors app is designed for the auto enthusiast. One of the key features is the Garage, where people can save & share vehicles they own or want to help them more easily find parts and connect with like-minded people.

As the lead product designer, I collaborated with PM and development teams to ideate based on user research, then followed through with sketches, wireframes, prototypes, mockups and assets. One of the latest features I shipped was a first time user experience that invites new users to save their vehicle in the Garage without needing to be signed in, letting them experience the value proposition earlier. Other experiences I designed include the navigational framework, improvements to the Garage to focus more on vehicle photos and parts searching, overall search improvements, visual image search, raceway check-ins, community sharing and a parts compatibility checker.

Additionally I was responsible for creating storyboards for concept testing and pitching blue-sky ideas.

eBay Instant Sale

The eBay Instant Sale iOS app provides a simple way for people to trade in electronics from their phone. The app will even generate an offer for the device it’s running on.

I was the lead designer on version 1.0, responsible for synthesizing user research, creating personas and crafting storyboards to drive the vision for the product. I collaborated with our cross-functional team to plan features that supported our vision. I also defined the look and feel of the app.

eBay for Windows Phone 7

The eBay app for Windows Phone 7 made use of the Metro design style & live tile notifications to provide customers with a fluid, up-to-date shopping experience.

In my role as lead interaction designer, I drove collaborative sessions with our small team of developers, QA and PM to brainstorm future releases. I shipped the Daily Deals and Dealfinder experiences, improved search refinements, and generated concepts for live tile notifications. One of my largest contributions to the project my creation of Expression Blend prototypes, which allowed us to quickly iterate on designs and cut out the need for spec documents.
