Designing B2C web experiences for  Newsroom at Elephant

My work was a part of Elephant's ongoing support for Apple Newsroom.

During my time at Elephant, I had the opportunity to work on UI/UX & content design for Apple Newsroom, its public-facing press release & news site on Apple.com. My proposed contributions played a small, yet crucial role in informing UI/UX for Newsroom's content.

Context

UI and content design explorations for the latest news on all things 

I collaborated with senior designers, project managers, product owners, developers, and creative directors to design & iterate public-facing pages & features for Apple Newsroom, Apple.com's press release & news website. I delivered ~25 iterations that explored redesigned content modals, enhanced UX writing, and more clarified press release page hierarchy.

Takeaways

Advocating for your design decisions

Advocating for your design decisions

My time at Elephant allowed me to focus on the importance of how you communicate your design decisions. It's important to consider how you communicate your design decisions in order to win over stakeholders (Why did you design it that way? How will it benefit the business in the long run?).

Let iterations get messy

Let iterations get messy

The design process can get messy — just let it happen! My supervisors reminded me that it's okay to show all of your iterations in your files — and not just perfecting one screen over and over.

Storytelling can make or break your work

At Elephant, I had the opportunity to lead presentations in internal design meetings. The way you present your work is a very crucial piece of showing your thought process when making design decisions for a product.

Special Thanks…

To my supervisors, Ryan McSwain & Xiaodie Huang, for helping me improve communicating my design decisions while giving me the opportunity to lead my own presentations in internal team meetings. My time at Elephant has reminded me that design is very much a people profession as it is a technical one — otherwise, how would you communicate the "whys" and "hows" in your work?
