Description During my three years at Fergus, I ramped up the design operations creating a UX team from scratch, my first piece of work was an onboarding project that ended up increasing (and maintaining) a 7% month on month conversion rate. We achieved that by creating a task-based onboarding workflow where we allowed trialists to use their trial account for real projects from the start.

After the initial launch of our new onboarding experience, the most logical next step was to improve the overall User Experience of Fergus to reduce churn and reduce Customer Support tickets. We embarked on a very comprehensive UI audit that was the foundation of K9, the design system of Fergus that would become the foundation of a more consistent and easy to deploy User Experience. While one of the team members was auditing the UI components, another Designer was collating and categorizing years of customer support tickets to define and prioritize the most critical workflows to be fixed. This wasn’t a small project, and the design team spent about 6 months almost exclusively focusing on this project, which was delivered in 3 stages over 1 year, we had a dedicated engineering team delivering improvements every week, customers were thrilled.

In my final year at the company, I focused my efforts on fostering a product-led spirit in the engineering team, helping the CTO to create a Product Team from scratch. This helped us to understand and prioritize opportunities better. During that time we focused our efforts on understanding the Australian market to increase our reach. The result of this initiative was Checklists and Forms, a bundle of functionalities specially designed to help Small and Medium Trade Businesses to optimize their operations and reduce paperwork around legislation and compliance.
