Project in conjunction with Perception NYC.

It is a simple, fun way for users to test EV cars prior to buying them, and for BMW to track how people use their vehicles and thus inform their research into the next generation of cars.

The main challenge was to create an online realm that did not associate with e-commerce (Homegoods can’t sell online due to their business model) and at the same time was a reference and an incentive for the customers to engage with Homegoods’ retail stores.

Design process comprehended etnographical research, digital strategy, persona creation, design workshops, sitemap and wireframe design. I followed all the process from interviewing users to Q&A and launch.

The generation green site was conceived under a simple principle: teachers don’t have much free time, and any supporting service to be offered to them had to be simple yet with enough substance for the schools to consider introducing it into their already busy study programmes.

Most of the site’s interactive process are either triggered by simple calls to action, or managed as linear processes that won’t take more than 5 minutes to complete.

In order to facilitate the transition and learning from the viewing to the managing of the site, the administrating section is just a series of active buttons on top of the same page view, and all interactive tasks occur inline, in simple 3- to 4-step linear processes.

The whole wireframing process was conducted in the Axure RP application, thus allowing a working prototype in every step of the wireframing process, greatly simplifying the client’s understanding of the site, and allowing us to directly test the iterations on professors and other knowledgeable stockholders. This allowed our team to take a rather small project and convert it into a comprehensive, robust, full-fledged nationwide programme, with the client’s idea of what the final product will be like all along the process path.

The Energy Saver Report is a service site by British Gas where customers can follow and be advice on how to make their houses and lives more energy efficient.

After taking a 7 question survey, customers are given a report of how their house or flat stands in terms of energy efficiency, and an opportunity to enroll for the energy plan, a dashboard-like panel where in simple three steps: ‘Your Current Usage’ shows the user how they’re currently doing in terms of energy saving; ‘Build Your Plan’ gives them efficiency suggestions and allows users to pledge energy saving activities; ‘Complete your Plan’ keeps track of those pledges and gives you a look on what your consumption will be if you take into actions the previous pledges.

With the Energy Planner customers can completely manage and improve their energy consumption and efficiency, so they can be greener and more efficient, and spend less in energy, all at the same time.

The cva project aims to a more engaging way to connect with the client remotely and keep them updated and involved in the creation and production process.

By means of a visually appealing, easy to use interface the client can follow closely each and every step of the process, sign-off creatives and documents with confidence of knowledge and keep a deliverable-centred conversation with the company, instead of the usual emails and phone calls.

The client interface (the ‘client’) is all made in flash, in order to maximise the sexyness for the client, still keeping it to a simple usable interface, easy to manage in simple clicks and steps. The client has also access to notes, issues that have been raised either by them or by the company, a milestone list and calendar with reminders of next actions on an overview panel that will give a complete current view of where his project (and money) are.

The administrator interface (the ‘admin’) is all built in php/js, and by some simple ajax-enabled actions it is an easy to learn on-site inline editing tool. Adding projects and assets could not be easier.
