My Contributions

I led the UX strategy, research, and end-to-end design of a restructured navigation system for Solutionreach’s core platform. I conducted stakeholder interviews, facilitated user research with internal and external audiences, and created wireframes and prototypes for testing. I iterated on designs based on usability insights, resulting in a more efficient and user-centered experience that reduced support calls and improved workflow efficiency.

Research Plan & Design Process

Outlining the Approach

Following an initial discovery phase and audit of previous iterations, I developed a comprehensive research plan to guide the project over the following months.

User Insights

Redesigning the platform required a deep understanding of two core user groups: internal support teams and external customers. Interviews, card-sorting exercises, and task analysis were conducted for both.

 

Internal Service & Support teams – As power users, these teams were highly familiar with the product’s intended workflows and used it daily.Needs: Decrease customer support call volume while seamlessly adopting product updates themselves.

 

External customers – These users, typically medical practice staff, engaged with the platform less frequently, with workflows that varied depending on their role and subscribed features.Needs: Improve efficiency and reduce cognitive friction, enabling users to easily reorient after time away from the tool.

Develop & Ideate

While card-sorting exercises offered valuable insights, results across the two user groups were inconsistent and often contradictory. However, one clear priority emerged: the need to highlight each practice’s subscribed products.

Several rounds of medium-fidelity wireframes were created and tested with the original user groups.

Initial usability testing revealed:

  • A 15% reduction in task completion time
  • Positive feedback on product visibility and workflow clarity
  • Criticism around excessive navigation tabs and unclear search placement

 

Based on this feedback, new iterations were developed and retested with users.

The Solution

  • After months of research, design, and testing, we landed on a nested tab navigation structure that met the needs of both user groups.
  •  
  • Internal teams reported that updating training materials was easier than expected, and saw an 18% drop in customer support calls in the first month after launch.
  • External users appreciated the cleaner interface, clear access to subscribed tools, and more intuitive workflows—ultimately leading to increased productivity and improved patient care.
