For Specialized Bikes, I worked as a supporting designer with a lead, focusing on Mission Control, an app for advanced users and pro riders to customize their e-bike riding experience. My contributions included:

  • Smart Control Setup: Designed the experience for users to input ride parameters such as:

    • Target heart rate, allowing the bike to adjust support to maintain the rider’s heart rate.

    • Ride distance, elevation gain, and remaining battery at the end of the ride, helping riders manage battery usage.

  • Locking/Unlocking Bikes & Bike Registration: Developed the interface for securely locking and unlocking bikes, and assisted with the bike registration process to ensure a smooth onboarding experience for users.

  • Managing Alerts: Worked on features to help users manage notifications and alerts related to bike performance and ride conditions.

  • Icon Exploration for the Ride App: Explored different iconography options to improve the visual design and user navigation for the Ride app, which supported riders in finding and joining rides.

  • Conceptualizing a New Home Feed: Explored different design ideas for the app’s home screen to improve the user experience. Although the final design went in a different direction, I contributed to early concepts.

  • Design System & Responsive Design: Helped organize the design system across platforms, ensuring consistency in both web and mobile experiences. I also worked on responsive design for apps like Rider Hub and Ride, ensuring a seamless experience across devices.

This project allowed me to apply my skills to a complex digital product aimed at a specialized audience, giving riders more control over their e-bike performance and enhancing the overall user experience.
