QNX Automotive Data Platform
BlackBerry IVY is a scalable, cloud-connected software platform that lets automakers create personalized driver and passenger experiences and improve operations of connected vehicles.
I designed end-to-end user experience from command line developer tools to cloud based software management.
UX Vision & Timeline
Joining the project a year after its beginnings, the first task was to communicate a vision for the user experience to stakeholders who had begun to lose site of the console value without a north star. Providing and documenting a shared vision stabilized development and guided our decisions.
Design System
With customer branding as a strong product requirement we elected to use the Material (MUI) design system as a basis for front end development.
I rebuilt the components from the ground up in Sketch and extended the base system with the more complex components needed for a robust data platform.
This library was the foundation of interface mockups and shared with other designers on the team.
Information Architecture
Beyond the typical user journeys and site maps, I created high level system diagrams of the platform, highlighting how the different roles and artifacts interact.
To document and visualize the information architecture I created an entity relationship diagram showing interface requirements for data.
Visualise and Prototype
Developer Experience (CLI)
Developers are happiest in their IDE of choice. For IVY I created mockups detailing the experience of downloading and installing the IVY SDK and plugin in Intelli-J, creating new projects, and submitting a software build to the platform.
