Solution
We developed a streamlined website that transformed the offline leasing process into an accessible online experience, showcased the product catalog and financing options, and facilitated seamless end-to-end applications to boost conversions. It also provided a dynamic interface for different user segments such as corporate partners, car dealers etc.

User experience extends beyond journeys and wireframes; it includes visual design, clear copy, and engaging interactions. I worked closely with the UI team to ensure we delivered a cohesive and functional end-to-end experience, using prototypes to demonstrate flows.

Communicating User-Centered design principles to the client
When client ideas conflicted with user experience (e.g., avoiding a step-by-step form), I executed as requested but later advocated for user-friendly changes. With my manager's support, we emphasized user priorities and reached a balanced solution with the client.
