Ideation
The ideation phase played a pivotal role in transforming challenges into innovative design solutions. Faced with the diverse landscape of long-form content, the ideation process involved collaborative brainstorming sessions with cross-functional teams, including developers, content strategists, and end-users. Through divergent thinking, we explored a spectrum of ideas to address the complexities identified during the initial stages. Ideation sessions allowed for the generation of creative concepts, from refining the user onboarding experience to envisioning a flexible information architecture that accommodated various content types seamlessly.
