Summary

Mission

New users struggled to complete the onboarding process, leading to high drop-off rates and increased support tickets. Users found the setup process overwhelming, with the chief complaints around setting up shipping preferences, understanding automations, and a lack of direction on what to do next.

My Contributions

As a Senior Product Designer at ShipStation, I led the redesign of our product onboarding experience from discovery to delivery. I conducted user research, mapped friction points, and designed a a far more intuitive guided setup flow for new users. I collaborated closely with product, engineering, and customer success to refine the experience to guide users smoothly to their first shipment.

Impact

  • Onboarding completion rate improved 31%
  • Support tickets decreased by over 40%
  • 57% of new users successfully purchased a label within the first week.
