Hi Fi Prototyping

Request

Redesigned the User Interface, produced a hi-fi prototype for User Testing, and worked with the Android team to implement the UI.

Solution

The Supply Center program was designed to store users’ favorite products on-site for immediate access in the lab. The program offered room temperature cabinets, 4°C refrigerators, and –20°C freezers in a range of sizes to meet the needs of various labs. Depending on automation, security, and inventory levels, we provided solutions that best fit any requirements.

Usability testing was necessary because the Supply Center workflows were very complex. We needed a hi-fi prototype that mimicked the many avenues a user could possibly navigate. This quick and dirty production (no AngularJS, no MVC, just jQuery) allowed us to scaffold the required logic and test it on touch devices.

My CSS was tight enough (and browser-tested) to make it into production.

Initially, I added a library that allowed users to scan a Q-Code to mimic the new interaction. However, we removed it because the hardware was already familiar to teams.

During the tests, I updated the prototype and pushed/pulled new scenarios between user sessions, adjusting the prototype to account for newly discovered situations.
