New design language

Wrike · Principal Product Designer

Overview

Wrike is a cloud-based collaborative work management platform for managing cross-functional work at scale.

As Principal Product Designer, I led a project to develop a new design language for the product.

Two key factors kickstarted this project:

  • After conducting interviews, it was discovered that some customers left Wrike or did not proceed past a trial stage because they found competitor products to be more modern and user-friendly.
  • Wrike's overall brand design language had been refreshed. It had been applied to the website and marketing but had not been used in the product.

Outcome

Fewer win/loss interviews mention Wrike design as a detractor, and more mention it as a strength
