Role: Sr. Product, Motion
Other Teammates: Lead Designer, Product Designers, UX Writer, Devs
As a senior product designer on the Cart team, I got to work on the heaviest UX problems. Undeniably, the Cart is where Driveway makes its money. I was also lucky enough that leadership and senior executives trusted me with bringing animation not only as a brand/marketing asset, but with introducing it into our design/development pipeline and workflow.
As a product designer with a motion background I try to utilize motion to push a product forward, make interactions more delightful and—most-importantly—more useful. I personally integrated Lottie into the Driveway workflow; I collaborated with developers to add a Lottie copmponent into the Driveway design system Storybook.
Each piece of the Driveway.com experience was broken into smaller feature teams. But we worked largely within the same design system and were given space to contribute to the design system wherever it made sense. Ultimately, the design system was always in flux and changing for my entire tenure at Driveway.
