Role

Senior Product Designer

Responsibilities

Content Strategy, Information Architecture, User Flow, Wireframes, Prototyping, Visual Design, and QA

Prioritized frequently-used features

Functions such as setting a microwave time were brought to the forefront, while lesser-used features, such as setting the time of day or adjusting the screen brightness, were layered deeper within the user experience.

Microwave mode

Setting a timer should be quick and easy

Minutes and seconds were separated into their own scroll wheel, similar to timers on mobile devices, to ensure a simple user experience.

Cook Assist mode

Encouraging consumers to use automated programs

Most consumers were unfamiliar with the new features being incorporated in this microwave line. To ensure users feel confident, the interface guides them step-by-step through the function.

Aligned to the Thermador visual design language

As design alignment was essential, we opted for the direction that best matched with the suite of Thermador appliances.

I generated and provided all design specification documents to the developers, including user journeys, wallpapers, animations, sounds, and assets.
