Overview
Led UX design for JennAir's $1M+ smart appliance playing a critical role in these domains:
Experience Strategy
I created the frameworks and prototypes to share the vision, design principles and content strategy. This helped evangelize ideas, gain alignment and drive decision making.
Planning & Scope Definition
I defined the product with project mangers & marketing. I evangelized customer goals and balanced business goals. Prioritized and negotiated features for launch and beyond.
Design Execution & Validation
I designed down on Jennair’s Androids HMI experience executed user flows, wireframes, and design specs.
HIGHLIGHTS
An end-to-end luxury appliance that takes control of smart features that empower users to monitor and remotely control their oven.

CONTEXT
A New Product Launch
Getting up to speed with competitors.
Since 2020, JennAir had not launched a new wall oven, as shown in (Figure 1.0) overall product reliability and owner Satisfaction was at an all time low and Whirlpool aimed to introduce a new line that is able to contend with today's market.

THE PROBLEM
A fixed launch date
Aggressive scope created an intense environment with many challenges.
Feature design and development were broken into separate work streams executed in a agile-waterfall hybrid model.
I led the design for all aspects related to the on product experience ensuring the experience could be translated to the app.
Working backwards from a fixed launch date, meant that design was subsumed into an engineering‐driven process. Sign‐off milestones were driven by engineering estimates and time to create the right design was the time left over.
THE CHALLENGE
Satiate the indulging consumer by creating an elegant, refined experience between appliance and app that’s competitive in today’s market.
DISCOVERY
Setting the stage
Consumer Research
Leveraged consumer research gathered by the marketing team to drive our planning phase.
The key insights shown in (Figure 2.0) helped me define the design principles.

FRAMEWORK
How we got there
Balancing design progress with collaboration in a global, cross-functional team was challenging.
Coordinating with various stakeholders often led to prolonged debates over design decisions, especially when data to inform these choices was lacking. This caused delays, decision paralysis, and a growing skepticism towards design intent.
Recognizing this early, I developed documentation to clearly articulate design rationale and reduce dependency on data-driven debates streamlining our process and improving team alignment (Figure 3.0).

North Star Design Principles

BUSINESS GOAL
Strengthen value proposition for Culinary Center.
My earliest design challenge was to propose how we would re-organize the placement of features on the programming view to minimize frustrating steps unnecessary steps & highlight specialized branded features.
Shown in (Figure 3.1), categorization for features on the old oven was non-existent and the vertical tumbler made it very difficult for users to find the specific cooking function they were looking for which added unnecessary churn to the cooking journey.
3.1
Old wall oven & Feature Usage Data

Finding a new structure amidst the chaos.
Based on the feature usage data Shown in (Figure 3.1), I was able to understand the most used frequently used features which assisted in building the core structure of the programming view.
Additionally, one of main business goals was to include a section to highlight branded features. I used this information to build out the core programming structure
3.2

The new and revamped programming
view.
The new structure Shown in (Figure 3.2) reduced the amount of scrolling needed minimize frustrating steps while providing a dedicated section for frequently used cooking functions to be easily access.
This also allowed for a dedicated space to highlight specialized branded features which helped distinguish us from competitors and opened up new opportunity areas to explore ways to optimize and personalize the experience for users.
3.2
Revamped Programming View.
IMAGE
BUSINESS GOAL
Consistency between the app and on product experience.
During the development of the product flows it was essential to leverage the app design components as much as possible to ensure a consistent and cohesive experience.
The impact of doing this during development of the on product flows allowed for less revision and rework software engineers in later stages of development for the app.
3.3
Element Reuse

THE PROCESS
Communicating Design
Heavy Documentation with a ton of maintenance.
The sheer size of this project meant that I needed to have everything figured out before teams would commit to moving forward with the work. Many teams involved in the project needed to see it in a tangible document.
This risk averse mindset meant I created a lot of reference documentation that was widely distributed and a high overhead to maintain.

Assisted Cooking process flows

Prototyping was the most effective way to gain meaningful feedback.
For each feature phase, I went through cycles of requirements, reviews, approvals, detailed specs, handoffs and implementation support.
Based on the feature being developed I would meet with the key stakeholders to gather requirements and then generate process flows translating intent into hi‐fidelity design comps.
Since I was working with many existing design patterns and had a UI designer ready to create new assets if needed, it was relatively easy to move straight into hi‐fidelity designs.
Prototyping was the most effective way to gain meaningful feedback from the team and approval from senior leadership. I was able to easily distribute and recycle flows for on product demos using Figma’s prototyping feature on the android app.

After hand-off of a feature it was essential to review version updates with software engineers keeping them up to speed since requirements were ever-changing and new version updates of the design system were being released frequently.

Integration Events: UI Updates

Documentation ensured design intent was not lost in translation.
Over the course of the the project these integration events allowed me to identify over 150+ inconsistencies which were tracked and documented.
Having documentation of the inconsistencies ensured the fixes were implemented and design intent was not lost in translation.

A HUGE SUCCESS
Testing with end users was well received with an overall usability rating of 4.53/5
It looks pretty nice, gives that minimalist look.
I love that it's not too difficult to maneuver-I expected there would be more options out here to the side.
I think anyone that is used to scrolling with a phone will find it intuitive. It is similar to the one they took out.
Way better than the last one. I like the 350 quick start since I would have to manually add that in previously. Like the +/- 5 degrees.
Easy to operate, kitchen timer is more clear (hours, minutes, seconds)
It seems very user-friendly. I don't see any confusing bits.
It seems like it's a pretty easy format, easy to navigate.
The touch screen is bigger on this one. It was hard to manage on the last one. This one is bigger so it's more user-friendly maybe. You can see all your options right away. Less searching for what you want.
Seems pretty easy. The last one, I wasn't sure how to turn off the oven. I figured out I had to hit "oven" again and that turned it off. On this one, I hit cancel and that turns it off. That's nice. I like the quick start, because I use that a lot. I've never used these pre settings.

Project Takeaways:
Effectively communicating with stakeholders is a cheat code
It helped diplomatically address disagreements and propose solutions that satisfy both user and business needs, which was crucial for driving design work forward and making a meaningful impact.
Cross-functional partners should be
involved from the start
It ensured that the project was progressing
holistically — effectively accounting for content
strategy and technical feasibility early.
Finding opportunities within constraints
Viewing constraints from different perspectives
helped brew new approaches to tackle other
constraints.
