As the sole designer at GuestReady I was working closely with the engineering team and product managers on a range of products that helped the company grow to one of the biggest of its type worldwide. My responsibilities included analysing the current processes and designing improvements through user research, the creation of wireframes, mockups and interactive prototypes.
