With the launch of the new Edge browser on PC and Mac, the mobile team explored new ways to connect browsing across devices, including syncing passwords, form-fill information, addresses, and open tabs.
My role
My work spanned password management, account and syncing settings, and related cross-device experiences. Some features were unavailable or had existing usability issues, so the work involved both establishing the foundations for syncing and improving how people managed their information across devices.
I designed experiences across password management and account/sync settings, working closely with product managers, a UX writer, and the desktop team.
I defined user flows for complex scenarios, created wireframes at different levels of fidelity, and helped clarify feature scope and edge cases before implementation. As requirements and release plans changed, I balanced immediate delivery needs with opportunities to improve the overall experience.
Improving Edge Mobile’s First-Run Experience
The challenge
Telemetry showed that more than 30% of users dropped off before reaching the app. The team explored ways to address usability issues in the existing onboarding flow and make the first-run experience more welcoming and valuable.
My role
I worked closely with a product manager and UX researcher to identify pain points, explore design directions, and iterate on the onboarding experience.
I created wireframes and interactive Figma prototypes, incorporated feedback, and collaborated with the researcher on iterative testing.
I explored and refined the onboarding flow through several changes:
- Simplified settings: Combined data settings into one step.
- Clarified syncing choices: Let users choose which items to sync at the beginning.
Before: UX issues found during usability testing including confusing wording; Skip button in blind spot; Not providing user-valued content.
- Added personalization: Introduced personalization options during onboarding.
- Refined the visual design: Updated typography, illustrations, and iconography to align with Fluent Design.
After: Add personalization items during FRE; Merge data settings into one step; Choose sync items at the beginning; Update font, illustration and iconography to align with fluent design system.
