Kosmos

Role: Brand Development, User Research and End-to-End UX/UI Design
Timeline: 2016-2018

Challenge

Kosmos was a start-up, data-driven application that enabled organizations to analyze and manage all of their content from a single tool, gaining insights into both unstructured and structured data across multiple repositories. A key pain point it addressed was the inefficiency and fragmentation caused by having content spread across disconnected systems, making it difficult for teams to locate, interpret, and act on critical information.

Task

I served as the Lead UX/UI Designer on this project, responsible for driving the product from concept to launch, including defining the user experience and developing the brand identity. I collaborated cross-functionally with Front-End Developers, leading daily stand-ups and working closely with them throughout the development process to ensure seamless implementation of the design vision.


Concept Diagram

To kick off the discovery process I facilitated a meeting with the stakeholders to gain iTo kick off the discovery process, I facilitated a collaborative session with stakeholders to gain a deeper understanding of the application’s methodology and core objectives. Based on those insights, I developed a concept model diagram to visualize key relationships and inform the overall design approach.


Personas

Through user interviews and by gathering key business goals, I conducted research that led to the development of detailed user personas for each type of individual who would interact with the application.


Information Architecture

Based on the personas, I facilitated meetings to better understand how users would interact with the application. Using these insights, I then created an Information Architecture (IA) diagram to map out the structure and flow of the application.


User Flows

Based on the use cases, I mapped out the user flows to illustrate how each task would be completed within the application.


Prototype 

I created a prototype of the application as well using Axure. Demo available to view upon request.


Brand Development

Logo

I also worked on the brand identity for Kosmos creating several logo options for the brand.
