K2X.Tech

Living in Australia while working remote as a UX/UI designer for the Pakistanish tech company K2X.Tech.

At K2X.Tech I was working as a remote UX/UI Designer while I was living in Australia for five months.
My primary role was to
brainstorm different ways UI elements could look while using design thinking.

I worked on different project where I contributed with research, ideation, brainstorming, wireframes, mockups and feedback on designs.

Furthermore, I worked with Figma where I developed my UI/UX skills and understanding of a user-friendly user journey.

My role as UX/UI Designer

Projects

My biggest project was working on a dashboard, where the user should be able to view multiple flights, the flights fuel type, arrival and departure and also the amount of CO2 the individual flights emits.

Here I got to develop many different ways of showcasing data in different ways to make the data useful and understandable for the user.

Design Thinking

In my design process, I employed the principles of design thinking to tackle the challenge of representing data effectively on a dashboard.

Here's an overview of how I incorporated design thinking, sought feedback from coworkers, and used Figma to iterate.

  1. Empathize and Define:

  • I began by understanding the needs and expectations of users who would interact with the dashboard, which helped define the problem and set clear objectives.

  1. Feedback Loop:

  • Regular feedback sessions with coworkers were great in refining the dashboard's design. Their input not only helped me spot potential usability issues but also provided fresh ideas for improvement.

  1. Ideate:

  • I conducted brainstorming sessions to generate a wide range of ideas for data representation.

  • This involved exploring various chart types, visual styles, and interaction concepts.

  1. Prototype and Test:

  • Using Figma, I created mockups of different dashboard designs. This allowed me to quickly visualize various concepts with minimal effort.

  • I involved my coworkers and gathering their feedback and insights. Their diverse perspectives helped identify strengths and weaknesses in each design iteration.

  1. Iterate and Refine:

  • Based on the feedback received, I iterated on the design, making necessary adjustments and refinements.

  • This iterative process allowed me to fine-tune the dashboard's layout, data visualization, and user interactions.

Develop Skills in Figma:

  • While working on the project, I trained my skills in Figma, using its collaborative features to incorporate feedback from coworkers and make real-time changes to the mockups

  • I also explored advanced features and plugins within Figma to enhance the design.

Result:

By embracing design thinking, seeking feedback from coworkers, and leveraging Figma's capabilities, I created a data dashboard that not only met user needs but also pushed the boundaries of my design skills.
This iterative and collaborative approach ultimately led to a more effective and user-friendly solution.
