Competitive Research
Existing remote work tools focus on productivity and communication but often lack features for meaningful social engagement. Many require facilitation by managers or HR to encourage interaction. I mapped these solutions on a graph of “Ease of Use” versus “Dependency on External Support,” highlighting opportunities for Work Hive to enable effortless, independent social connection for remote teams.
Journey Map
This helped us gain deep insights into the problem and identify ways to enhance the overall experience.
Low Fidelity Wireframe
I started with rapid sketching to explore different layouts and interaction patterns. These wireframes helped validate the information hierarchy and navigation structure before investing time in visual design.
