PRODUCT REDESIGN FOR MOBILE, TABLET, WEB & CTV >>
9 MONTHS
The design team's work in this initial phase focused on redesigning the product across all its devices. For several years the product had been using the same release and this positioned it in a vulnerable position against its active competitors that were increasingly penetrating the Latin-American market. The product was redesigned across all platforms and, the website used by the marketing team to promote and inform about the service was redesigned as well. As the redesign proceeded, a library of components and patterns was created. This allowed us to scale the design and implementation process for the next stages.
