Background

Upon joining the My Telstra team the app development was under way with a roadmap of features being tackled by 7+ multidisciplinary squads. I was responsible for the design of the "Get help" section and collaborated with the other squads and Telstra's Design System team to deliver a sophisticated platform worthy of Australia's largest telecommunications company. I also served as Design Lead for the My Telstra team during a colleague's paternity leave.

Brief

Increase customer confidence in Telstra's self-service support and proactively address their needs through the delivery of a suite of tools and proactive support.

Approach

Working within a multi-squad structure, we engaged in regular updates, sprint planning sessions, and constructive design critique workshops. My responsibilities within my squad included collaborating with our UX Designer and Product Owner to grasp both user and business needs, liaising with Solution Architects, and ensuring consistency in design through sharing core features with the wider design team.
