case study: usability for a new calling feature (facebook messenger)
This is purposefully ambiguous because I’m under an NDA. Previous research I completed led the product team in the direction of prioritizing and developing a new feature to be used during a video call. We wanted to ensure the feature is discoverable, usable, and doesn’t interfere with any existing, critical task flows.
