Duration
3 month internship
Skills

User Research: Competitive Analysis
Goal
To analyze, evaluate and compare the experience of 3 competitors:
Procore, Fieldwire, & Plangrid
Duration
1 week
Approach
Use and take notes on Web and iOS of all 3 products vs. Bluebeam:
-
Offerings (What type of a platform is it?)
-
Features/Functionality (What is the user able to do?)
-
Content Strategy (How are the features/functionality organized?)
-
Screen Recordings link to Sharepoint
A Closer Look
Takeaways
If I could do it all over again, I would compare Android platform (device was unavailable at the time) because there are a significant amount of users in the field who use Bluebeam Cloud on their Android devices. Secondly, I would produce a matrix comparing all 4 products to compare all of the products to each other and not just to Bluebeam.
Design Systems
Generated a comprehensive guide delineating distinctions between the design systems employed by iOS and Android to use when designing new features and to improve existing ones.
How: Made two columns for iOS and Android, categorized types of features to focus on based on the existing ones that Bluebeam used, then compared and contrasted
Takeaways: I learned how important it is to utilize a design system because it will be more intuitive for users if they are familiar
UX Writing / Copy
Identified all of the copy differences between all platforms to improve consistency and enhance user flow.
How: I made two columns for Web and iOS, highlighted the differences, and included rationale for recommendations.
During design jams with the team to fix these inconsistencies, I recommended the best choices and why.
Takeways:
Small changes have a big impact.
Design & Prototyping
Assisted Lead designer to prototype a drawer for the Android platform while following the Material 3 design system.
Recommended solutions to improve design on all platforms.
