WORK EXPERIENCES

UX Designer

ACS Technologies | United States・ Full-Time

  • Customer journey mapping + funnel optimization: Mapped end-to-end user journeys and translated user needs into Figma flows, wireframes, prototypes, and presentations to reduce drop-offs and improve task completion across web-based SaaS platforms.

  • Research + usability testing: Planned and supported user research and usability testing (from planning to reporting), synthesizing insights into actionable iterations and testable hypotheses for future releases.

  • 0→1 launch (conversion-style outcome): Led discovery → IA → interaction design → validation for Group Life, launched May 2025 to ~150 organizations / ~130,000 users; improved the “create a group” funnel and increased group creation rate +37% within 1–2 months post-launch.

  • Competitive research + usability-driven redesign: Benchmarked comparable batch management/check review workflows and synthesized findings with user feedback to simplify decision points and improve clarity for MinistryPlatform – Batch Management; reduced time-on-task ~6 min → ~2 min (−67%), increased usage +46%, and reduced related support tickets −78% post-launch.

  • End-to-end registration journey (in development): Co-led Go Method Mission Trip setup + registration journey across desktop + mobile, covering public listing → sign-up/in → add/remove applicants → tasks → review & payment, and setup configuration (trip details, payment & CHMS settings, member type & cost, requirements, review) to support scalable releases and reduce funnel drop-offs.

  • Cross-functional delivery (Agile): Partnered with engineering and product teams to define UX scope, clarify edge cases/acceptance criteria, and deliver dev-ready specs with high quality and on-time execution.
