With Kidfund (now part of UNest), anyone could help parents save for their kids' futures, by giving the most flexible (and least space-intensive) gift of all: money.
Project brief: Own the iOS app, with input from the co-founders. Build features & changes to grow users & usage.
My role: I managed the entire product lifecycle. This might start with foundational user research I conducted, or a feature the co-founders wanted to introduce. I designed the experiences & UIs in the app, validated with users, then implemented & deployed the changes. Some key projects that I built:
- Iterating several times on the onboarding flow, to improve retention
- A complete home screen redesign
- Easier integration with social networks for greater reach
- Allowing gifts to be pledged to kids who didn't have accounts yet
Outcome: I boosted our onboarding completion by ~10% through research & iterative design. The app grew to over 30,000 users & was ultimately acquired.
