Empathy. Curiosity. Problem-solving.

I’m Chloé,

Currently an Associate Consultant at Slalom in Washington, DC. I am a Service Designer and CX-er dedicated to designing impactful experiences through a user-centered, problem-solving design process.

I deliver results at companies such as

My Design Process.

Using The Triple Diamond, along with other research and design methodologies, such as design thinking, ensures valuable outcomes for all stakeholders in my team and I’s work.


The Triple Diamond

Now, let’s get into the outline that guides my work. There are 6 phases, but the process is not always linear.

Phase 1 of 6

Research.

First, establish a comprehensive understanding of the problem space, empathize with the customer, and identify key pain points. Align and empathize with the stakeholders.

We discover this through…

  • Interviewing

  • Qualitative Research

  • Quantitative Research

  • Market Inquiry

  • Competitive Analysis

  • Heuristic Analysis

Phase 2 of 6

Define.

With a deeper understanding of our stakeholders and pain points, we can begin to craft their stories, correctly frame the problem we need to solve, and establish clear goals that align with the business objectives.

We define this by creating…

  • Behavior-based personas

  • How-might-we questions

  • Empathy maps

  • Jobs To Be Done

  • Customer journey maps

  • Current state blueprints

  • Value Proposition Canvas

  • Ecosystem Maps

  • User Flows

Phase 3 of 6

Ideate.

Now, we begin to problem-solve. What is probable and possible? Is it desirable, feasible, and viable?

To generate and refine ideas, we design…

  • Co-creative Workshops

  • Creative matrix

  • Future State Blueprint

  • Prioritization Matrix

  • Creative Thinking Methods

  • Business Model Canvas

  • KPI development

  • Mood boards

Phase 4 of 6

Prototype.

Fail fast - learn faster. The iterative prototyping process allows designers to refine their designs, making them more intuitive, user-friendly, and aligned with user expectations.

Some ways that we create and test solutions are…

  • Physical Prototyping

  • Wireframes

  • Business Origami

  • 3D Modeling

  • User Testing

  • Storyboards

  • Role playing
