Mobile Activation

“Staff had memorized workarounds just to survive a live sale.”

The Story

The activation flow had 12 screens, no progress indicator, and timed out mid-transaction. I ran 3 rounds of usability testing with 24 store staff and redesigned it down to 4 locked steps.

50+ interviews conducted

Surveys & Analytics

Quantitative research combining survey data with behavioral analytics to validate hypotheses at scale.

Data-driven insights

— My UX Philosophy

What People Say

Colleagues & Collaborators

“Damian actually came into our store and watched us work. He didn't just ask questions — he sat there during real activations and saw exactly where we were getting stuck. By the time he showed us the redesign, it felt like he'd been doing this job himself. That's rare.”
