Background
As the Head of Product Design at 1KOMMA5°, I was hired to lead and grow a team for our flagship mobile app, Heartbeat.
Design Strategy
As we worked across several stream-oriented product teams, having consistent and harmonized design assets and delivery processes was critical.
1
Design System
1:1 UI components aligned with Flutter ensured consistency and speed
2
File Architecture
Leveraging a source of truth with per-feature branches kept us flexible yet clean
3
Defined Workflows
Scalable processes between design, PO's, engineering, and QA reduced complexity
Scoping The Product
As the product was 0 -> 1, it was crucial to define and scope out the product architecture. Through user interviews, competitive analysis, and stakeholder discussions, we aligned on the core product sections.
Home Is Where The Heartbeat Is
1KOMMA5 introduced many new innovations and advances to the home energy market. The Heartbeat tab was the home for these collective features.
Live System View
Giving users a simple, intuitive overview of their current system performance is paramount to the success of a home energy management app.
Energy Data Visualization
Showcasing historic data helps users understand their system performance over time.
Optimizing The System
Giving users a clear demonstration of potential optimizations in their system yields better energy prices, more C02 saved, and more revenue for the business.
Feature Ratings
To equip the teams with more data and to gather direct feedback on our individual features, we rolled out a feature rating framework.
App Reviews
The ratings for the Heartbeat App grew dramatically over the next 6 months.
Outcomes
To define the essential feature set for the MVP, we did discovery with stakeholders, users, and competitors to crystallize the core offering.
