01. THE CHALLENGES

  • High abandonment rates during the fault reporting journey.

  • Pre-check loading states lacked context, leaving users unsure if diagnostics were being performed.

  • Lack of visual hierarchy reduced the visibility of key actions and status updates.

  • Users with multiple services experienced difficulty identifying the relevant service when diagnostics returned no clear fault

  • Most users who abandoned the online journey went on to contact a customer support agent.

02. THE APPROACH

  • Conducted usability testing on the live fault reporting journey to identify key pain points.

  • Analysed findings across pre-checks, service selection, and diagnostics.

  • Created low-fidelity wireframes to explore improved structure and flow.

  • Built interactive prototype to test the new fault reporting experience.

  • Ran further usability testing to test new designs and iterated based on feedback.

  • Handed off final designs to development with specs and guidance.

03. THE OUTCOMES

  • More users engaged with fault cards, leading to increased online fault reporting.

  • More users were able to report faults online, reducing reliance on customer support.

  • Added contextual loading states to clearly communicate each stage of the diagnostic process.

  • Created bespoke illustrations and animations to create a more engaging loading state.

  • Introduced contextual status cards using colour-coded visual cues to distinguish identified faults from services requiring further action.

  • Designed and added a table with advanced filtering to help users quickly locate the correct service within large accounts.

  • Created a guided three-step journey to help users narrow down affected services when faults couldn’t be automatically identified.

WAYS OF WORKING

92% completion rate

Users successfully completed the redesigned fault-reporting journey during usability testing.

I took a holistic, end-to-end approach, first understanding the underlying problem before moving into UI. I analysed customer analytics, call logs and session recordings, alongside usability testing through Askable, to identify friction across the journey.


These insights informed wireframing and prototyping, which I used to explore and refine solutions before testing the new experience with users. Once the UX was validated, I focused on a clean, engaging UI, introducing motion and animation to improve feedback and establish a more dynamic interaction style across My Account.
