challenge

The primary challenge was to enable FactSet users access to up to the minute market information, news, and research on the universe of companies, funds, and indices most important to the user via a universal platform and a seamless experience across devises and platforms; Web, iOS, Android, desktop, tablet and smartphone.

Solution

I developed a new mobile design framework and visual signature which enhanced and simplified Factset users in navigating a complex system to find the data and information pertinent to them.

Working collaboratively with UX Research, conducting white boarding brainstorming sessions, developing user personas & journey maps enabled me to developed an intuitive, modern experience, which was efficient and effective, validated by in-house UAT and real-time client focus groups.
