I was tasked with creating a client hierarchy design for a project aimed at
digitizing the experience and uploading it into the system. This would be a
one-time setup after which the system would automatically update.My goal was to
design a visually engaging and functional hierarchy chart that users could
easily interact with and use to connect to or see the information they needed.I
decided to create an interactive tree chart to enhance user experience. During
the process, I conducted feasibility walkthroughs with the engineering team to
ensure the design could be developed within the project's timeline and technical
constraints. When we realized that the initial design was not feasible given our
tools and timeline, I took the initiative to pivot our approach. Leveraging the
design system and using more expandable and collapsible panels, I developed a
new design that was both practical and aligned with user needs and business
goals.The new design was implemented successfully within the project's timeline,
meeting both user requirements and business objectives. My proactive approach,
adaptability, and commitment to finding a feasible solution demonstrated strong
ownership and contributed to the project's overall success.

I needed to create and entry point into a form filling process where the user
would first select a product based on which the form would follow. I wanted to
go ahead with providing with a radio selection since we did not have selections
to choose from. this would have all the option upfront and save one extra click
in the process. The product owner felt it was more reasonble to use a dropdown
selection in this case. Since it was hard coming to a seleciton, we creation
both the design and did a guerilla testing with a wider audience. On doing that
we had a vote system on what work better and based on the votes we decided to go
with the radio selection process. I not only achieved trust on my desing
decisions but also a wider perspective from different people

One time I was creating a client hierarchy design for one of our project, we
were tryin to digitize the experience and to start with get it uploaded into the
system, this was going to be a one time thing after which the system would
automatically update.. As I was creating the hierarchy chart I wanted to be more
explorative with the kind of visuals I was using or chart, so I made an
interactive tree chart that should be used the way the users wanted to and help
them family it was they were exactly trying to connect to or see. As I created
those design and did feasibility walkthroughs with the engineering team we
realized that was not something possible to be developed given our timeline and
the tools we they were using, so we have to change out direction and leveraging
the design system and more expandable and collapsible panels we created a more
feasible design that we could accomplish within business timelines and goals.

When I designed an interactive tree map and it did not fit the timeline alloted
for development and I had to reiterate on the design and make something more
feasible that could be developed more quickly so I leveraged existing
components
