A snippet of my service design mapping on the content management system

CMS Content Management System Design - adding a new video template type

Because I was a designer focusing content heavy UX, I worked on multiple design features to improve the CMS, such as improving findability on the dashboard, improving the content uploading process with fewer manual process - clicks and tabs, and mapping out the service design flow to guide the Content team on simplifying their Content workflow.

Define user needs and gather feedback

Content feedback: Having search by title should be sufficient, but it’s still a nice-to-have for the search by ID.

ENG feedback: We learned that it wasn’t possible to search the video title and ID in one search bar field

Once we defined these user needs and technical constraints, PM and I had a clear alignment on PRD and user needs
