At Retro Rabbit, customer-centricity is more than a value—it’s how we solve problems. Faced with a 40% drop-off in car sales flow, Tyler-jade Vermaak took charge, analysed user interactions, and collaborated globally to design solutions that reduced drop-offs by 33% and achieved record-breaking sales. This is how we turn challenges into growth. #CustomerCentricity #UXDesign #RetroRabbit

In the world of development, bad practices spread like infection. 🧪 Code reviews, documentation, proper version control, and testing are the antidotes that keep chaos at bay. 💻 Survival isn’t just about writing code—it’s about clean, adaptable systems that can weather any storm. #DeveloperSurvivalPack #SoftwareEngineering #RetroRabbit #CleanCode #VersionControl #TechLife

Our UX design team member recently completed an exciting project to consolidate two products into one unified app, while giving the user interface a major facelift. This project wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was about simplifying complexity, improving usability, and tackling key design challenges. 🔍 Challenges overcome: - Inconsistent processes and outdated design systems. - Limited design involvement in decision-making. - Navigating unclear scopes and timelines. - Balancing the creation of a new design system while refining the app's look and feel. 💡 Solutions We Implemented: - User-driven research and rigorous feedback testing. - Collaboration with developers to ensure seamless design integration. - Leveraging existing templates and tailoring them for a modern, sleek experience. 📊 Key Learnings: - Design systems are a continuous journey that require maintenance. - Journey mapping is critical to understanding user needs. - A systematic, incremental approach leads to lasting design success. - Business stakeholders need to see the full value of UX—not just the UI. 🌟 Values in Action: Excellence, Innovation, Adaptability, Customer-Centricity, and Ownership were at the core of this project, ensuring we stayed true to our mission of delivering an outstanding user experience. Check out the revamped app featuring: ✅ Increased personalisation ✅ Improved navigation ✅ Faster access to key features ✅ A customer-first design that truly stands out. Kudos to Marie Pretorius for leading with creativity, collaboration, and excellence! 🚀

📢 Revolutionizing Design from the Ground Up 📢 When our UX team started this journey, there was no design structure in place—just a single, unorganized file. Fast forward to today, and we’ve built a robust component library, enhanced journey mapping, and delivered Proof of Concept solutions for the investor app and web experiences. Our success wasn’t just in the solutions but also in the process: - Tackling inconsistencies and embracing flexible UI design. - Implementing systematic processes for usability improvements. - Building a collaborative team environment based on trust and ownership. - This project showcases how commitment to excellence and adaptability drives meaningful change. #uxdesign #uidesign #uxuidesign #retrorabbit #lightningtalks
