Challenge

When I joined the Heineken team to work on the Heitool platform, the main issue was the app’s visual identity, which didn’t align with the brand.


To address this, we conducted extensive research and fieldwork to identify which screens needed the most attention and which were generating the most support requests

Results

Post-redesign, user engagement significantly increased with a 25% reduction in task completion time and a 30% decrease in user error rates. User satisfaction ratings improved from 3.2 to 4.6 stars. The streamlined workflows and modern interface resulted in a 20% increase in new subscriptions within the first six months of the launch.

Research Process

Google analytics, Lyssna & hotjar

Research & Analysis: We conducted user interviews, surveys, and analyzed in-app analytics to understand the pain points and user needs. We also studied competitor apps and industry trends to gather insights


Information Architecture: Based on the research findings, we restructured the app's navigation and content, prioritizing features and information according to user needs.


Wireframing & Prototyping: We designed low-fidelity wireframes to visualize the new layout and navigation, iteratively refining them based on user feedback. Afterward, we built a high-fidelity, interactive prototype to test the design.


Usability Testing: We conducted usability tests with a diverse group of users to validate the design and identify areas for improvement. Based on the feedback, we made necessary adjustments to the design.


Visual Design & Style Guide: We developed a cohesive visual language, including color schemes, typography, and iconography, ensuring consistency throughout the app. We also created a style guide to maintain design consistency in future updates.
