I expanded the BT Design System

Using Atomic Design principles, I created 17 new components that I spec'd to be delivered directly into the design system. My designs were also the first to demonstrate the new BT Business Design Language called "Arc".

I spoke to the SME business community

While there was a wealth of prior research, I also had the opportunity to interview 10 SME UK business owners. We spoke about the paradigm shift of business after COVID-19 and their personal business woes when it pertained to broadband.

Creating the right product means understanding the customer deeply. I used a lot of typical UX methods here including heat-maps, heuristic evaluations and competitor analysis.

I aligned our wider stakeholder group to our vision

BT is a gigantic corporate business - one of the biggest employers in the UK. Our role wasn't to only convince our product owners of the vision, but our senior leadership team spanning over 25 departments across the business that this journey would impact. I brought leadership on the journey with us.

Some of the problems we solved ✅

How might we improve customers understanding of internet speed?

We make internet speed tangible for business customers by having an interactive speed component that shows how long it would take for certain every day actions to be performed

How might we ensure customers know that prices depend on their location?

Customers are unable to get accurate speeds and prices until we have checked their business location. In the design, we call this out with a status message and provide limited information about the price of the product.

How might we help customers better understand the price of their product?

Not only do we now give them a VAT toggle and describe the difference between the upfront and monthly charge, we also provide a breakdown of the charges to the customer in a table.

Mobile first design

50% of our traffic was from mobile phones. The design had optimisations specific to mobile.

So much information on the product, we built in tabs to enable customers to get to what they cared about
