The vision proposed a bold simplification to the product experience that would drive engagement and upgrades under the new enterprise billing model. This design vision created a structured onboarding process for new users, gradually transitioning them from casual to core to power users, while preserving the existing features that power users rely on. 🟢 The proposal secured funding for several design experiments to test and enhance the proposed vision.// Accessibility policy: //🟢 I facilitated the discovery process, conducted all synthesis, and drafted the policy statement that became Mural's new accessibility policy in 2023. -
