Context
As the lead designer for the mobile app's consumer experience, my initial focus was enhancing the onboarding process to facilitate guest users' shopping experience before account creation. Conducting a heuristic analysis of the current onboarding user flow, I identified potential areas for improvement. Additionally, insights from user interviews were leveraged to inform the optimization efforts.

Market & Business Vision
Balancing ease of use with data collection was a challenge. Users needed a simple flow, but shifting from guest to registered status required careful integration to maintain personalization without disruption.

User Insights & Behavioral Patterns
The old onboarding process felt like a roadblock. Users struggled to shop as guests, and new features had to be integrated smoothly. The solution? A frictionless flow that made shopping intuitive from the start.

Artifacts
To make the mobile onboarding experience better, I wanted to figure out where we could make things smoother. I decided to do a heuristic analysis because it's something everyone, even those not deep into design, can get. Going through this analysis not only helped me spot areas for improvement but also got the product team on board with the changes we wanted to make for a friendlier user experience.

Deliverables
Following user interviews, heuristic analysis, and mapping the entire onboarding user flow, I chose these wireframes for testing. I incorporated design enhancements informed by the insights gathered from user interviews and the heuristic analysis.
