Understanding the audience

We defined the audience by creating user profiles and assigning use cases based on past interviews and alpha users as a starting point.


designing for the audience

I partnered with product design to work through flows. We considered design implications based on entry points and audience segments, as well as capabilities and differences across various software, hardware, devices, and platforms.


Communicating with THE audience

Tap to Pay on iPhone was a content-heavy project that touched dozens of surfaces. A sample of my work on key surfaces can be found below.

 

FEATURE TOUR

The feature tour orients users to the feature so they’re ready to take their first payment. By the end of the tour, users should understand what Tap to Pay on iPhone is, why it’s valuable, and how it works.

 

ENABLEMENT

The enablement modal introduces the feature, with the goal of getting users to enable it right away.
