Transforming the Oil Industry

I spearheaded the UI/UX design for the next generation of Schlumberger's software, focusing on DrillPlan, the company's most innovative web application poised to revolutionize the oil industry. Over three years, I meticulously crafted every workflow, collaborated with industry experts, and designed each interface to ensure a seamless user experience. I led and mentored a team of five designers, and worked closely with over 200 developers worldwide to bring this vision to life.

Additionally, I hold a US Patent for the creation of the Automated Trajectory Design Interface, showcasing my commitment to pioneering advancements in technology and design.

User Research

I conducted extensive user research, including multiple user interviews both in-person and online, engaging with stakeholders around the globe to gather valuable insights. This research was instrumental in creating the optimal UX process for DrillPlan.

Personas

From these user interviews, I created detailed personas to better understand user behaviors, needs, and motivations. These personas guided the design process, ensuring that every aspect of the UX was tailored to meet the real-world requirements of our diverse user base. By deeply understanding our users, I was able to create a user-centric design that enhances usability and drives engagement.

Information Architecture

Following the creation of detailed personas, I drafted an information architecture to organize and structure the content effectively. This step was crucial in mapping out the user flows and ensuring that the navigation was intuitive and aligned with user needs. By defining a clear information architecture, I was able to create a seamless and coherent user experience that supports users in achieving their goals efficiently within the DrillPlan software.

Design Sprints

I conducted around 2 design sprints per year to solve complex workflows, it involves different stakeholders and different experts (around 6-7 pers) for 5 days.

UI Design

I conducted a comprehensive UX workflow analysis and crafted the UI design, ensuring an intuitive and seamless player experience. The UX workflow analysis involved mapping out user journeys, identifying pain points, and optimizing interactions to enhance usability. Then I focused on creating visually appealing, user-friendly interfaces that align with the game's aesthetic and gameplay mechanics. Through iterative testing and feedback, I refined the design to achieve a polished final product that captivates and engages users.
