Global

Product Designer
2020-2022

Global is one of the world’s leading media & entertainment groups. I joined the team to lead the design of a complex planning system that replaced a number of sub-systems used to manage the planning and booking of a variety of outdoor advertising inventory including roadside, bus, cinema, airports and shopping malls. I also led the design of an order management system that for the first time would enable the company to combine all media types into a single order including outdoor, airtime, digital ad exchange, and online advertising. Both systems use a single design system and component library creating a seamless experience throughout the planning and booking journeys. I created flows and wireframes through to high-fidelity prototypes working within a large agile product team and running qualitative user testing sessions with a dedicated user group. I also managed a small team of designers and contractors working on other complex digital products.
