Mobile setup, installation and software updates for a connected weather station.
LEAD PRODUCT DESIGNER
Led the design for mobile setup, installation and updating software for a connected NB-IoT weather station. The login and home screens designed for this work would also become the default home experience for a user's other NB-IoT devices.
The weather station needed to be installed and updated through a Bluetooth connection. Customer education and clear communication were critical because users would install the device themselves.
Working directly with product management and engineering helped identify challenges for users and the implementation team. Early prototypes supported testing with potential users. Testing showed that installation instructions needed to be refined and simplified; users felt some steps contained too much text and skipped important information.
The full login, installation and update design was developed, but the project was shelved after two iterations when the business shifted focus.
