Project brief

To elevate their ownership experience, Tata Motors have asked us to design a mobile application to unify all their post purchase services, from remote controls and security alerts to maintenance and trading in their vehicle.

Challenge

The current post purchase product offering from Tata Motors included 4 applications with slightly different purposes and overlapping features aimed at customers who owned specific models of vehicles. Our goal was to consolidate these services and introduce new features while ensuring the app catered to the unique functionalities of each vehicle model, maintaining a symbiotic relationship between the vehicle and the app.

My Role

  • Create personas and write use cases

  • Produce user flows for complex processes to help the design team and client gain clarity on the designs required and aid developers

  • Own features of the app from requirement collection, process flows to designing and delivering

  • Create and maintain a design library

  • Working alongside developers and the client to adapt the designs to align with technical feasibility, time or business process constraints

Key Learnings & Reflection

Design Process

I proposed, designed and facilitated design critique sessions which became integrated as a regular activity during each sprint and is now being used across other projects as a result.


  • Purpose is to allow the team to inspect each other’s work and give feedback

  • Inconsistencies across different sprints were spotted more easily and the team able to align in the initial stages of the design

  • Team members were able to suggest existing components which could be used in place of new designs to bring continuity across different sections

  • The designers were also encouraged to take inspiration from other members’ designs
