Overview

Ensis approached me to design an end-to-end beta product following initial research and scoping.

Collaborating closely with the Head of Product and two engineers, I designed the core product experience in just three months.

Problem to solve

Most proposal teams rely heavily on spreadsheets, spending significant time gathering materials from disparate sources to craft lengthy proposals with strict requirements.

How might Ensis help teams securely store and leverage their materials to streamline the proposal creation process?

My Approach

Starting with generative user research and an initial flow, I:

  • Researched analogous and competitive spaces as well as generative AI frameworks to explore potential solutions.

  • Collaborated with the Ensis team to define the beta scope.

  • Developed wireframes and user flows to establish the product’s foundation.

  • Built a robust design system in Material to ensure consistency and scalability.

  • Partnered with product to brainstorm user stories, refining them into high-fidelity designs.

This streamlined process helped bring Ensis’ vision to life, transforming complex workflows into a seamless, intuitive experience for proposal teams.

The Impact

This work played a key role in securing an oversubscribed seed round and earning positive feedback from beta users on the app’s intuitiveness. The design system contributed to rapid development and ensured scalability moving forward.
