A leading global automobile manufacturer needed to launch a new integrated bridge platform to allow customers to manage multiple vehicles across their household. Project consisted of working with cross-functional teams including Marketing, IT, and Customer Insights to facilitate the strategy and experience design; map existing mobile app to new EV vehicle features; and build blended vehicle profiles. 

Status View to be named later Vehicle Status was one such project I worked on during this time. The goal was to provide a way for users to easily access status details or alert them to their vehicle issues. 

The new feature must work within the current app framework and stay close to the existing app's look and feel as possible. The feature must be accessible from the home / remote services screen and must be within two taps to access. Quick statuses also must be visible at all times on the remove services screen. These quick updates refreshed for up-to-date information to the user upon accessing the app.

With the existing app's design, this was a challenge due to the limited real estate available.  Additional limitations, such as no scrolling pages or use of card design, had to be considered.

I sketched out ideas and conducted whiteboard sessions with the Product Manager and Tech Lead to get feedback and verify the sketch ideas would not break the app and see if what I was proposing was possible to do within the time allotted.  Vehicle Status must be designed, developed, and tested ready for production within five months.
