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.

Role

UX Writing

TimeLine

9 weeks

Team

1 Creative Director

3 Senior Designers

Results

I presented 3 design enhancements to the Newsroom team at Elephant, which in turn were considered during stakeholder reviews with Apple's Marcom team.

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. I delivered ~25 iterations that highlighted redesigned content modals, enhanced UX writing, and more clarified press release page hierarchy & content legibility.

Out of those iterations, I proposed 3 major iterations to Newsroom's article screen to Elephant's Newsroom team, which in turn got them considered during stakeholder reviews with Apple's Marcom team!

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

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 learn how to advocate for my design decisions more effectively and become more confident in my presentation skills!

I would also like to thank the rest of the team I worked with — as well as everyone else at ELE — for helping me become more confident in myself as a designer breaking into the industry.
