Strategic Design + Product Vision
Through future-focused visioning, I helped reimagine the next 3–5 years of product experience. By combining research insights, stakeholder alignment, and scalable design thinking, the initiative reshaped navigation, streamlined workflows, and delivered a strategy that unites user needs with business goals.

Role + Timeline
UX Designer
August 2024 - December 2024
Situation
Our current product vision lacks alignment with future growth and market trends, causing challenges in adoption, competitive positioning, clear understanding of where the product could or should go in the next 3–5 years. Leadership recognized the need for a high-level, aspirational concept that could inspire, align, and guide cross-functional teams toward a shared future.
Task
Create a conceptual north star unconstrained by current technological or resource limitations that would define the product’s ideal future state, improve strategic clarity, and provide design direction for scaling experiences to realign the overall product vision with future business goals.

Result
Discovery + Team Alignment
To begin, we needed to align the team around a future-focused, user-centered vision for the x360 platform and secure stakeholder buy-in. We aimed to bridge knowledge gaps, analyze workflows, and envision a cohesive, aspirational experience. We focused on defining the platform’s ultimate potential and exploring future possibilities without being limited by current constraints such as technology, resources, or market conditions.
Efficiency
User Empowerment
Scalability

Goal
Goal Setting Workshop
Defined clear goals for the session, such as identifying pain points, aligning on product value, and setting the stage for a cohesive redesign that serves user needs and business objectives.
Jobs to Be Done Framework
Conducted a thorough review of existing user research, surfacing past insights and identifying areas where previous research could guide our new approach, such as "Jobs to Be Done".
Interview Team
Held in-depth discussions with the Sales team, Product team, and senior leadership to identify pain points, capture feedback on current workflows, and gather insights on frequently requested features.
Mapping the Problem
To ground our vision in real user needs, we began by consulting our user focus group to surface common pain points, uncover gaps in current workflows, and collect feedback on frequently requested features. Using those insights, we mapped existing user journeys to identify friction points and opportunities to better surface value throughout the experience. This synthesis directly informed the creation of a new, holistic navigation system—designed to unify the product ecosystem and simplify access for a more intuitive, scalable experience.
New navigation + architecture proposal
Rooted in our users’ Jobs to be Done, this new format would surface all major tasks into a single platform where they can:

Vision Exploration + Design
We presented a future-focused product vision centered on three simplified strategy themes: Protect Everything, Recovery First, and User Experience. This unified direction guided our proposed navigation and architecture redesign, streamlining workflows that would result in a more intuitive, scalable experience with the potential to deliver faster outcomes and a true single pane of glass.
Our values
Protect Everything
With Chain-Free backups at the core, we ensure MSPs can safeguard clients' data seamlessly and provide lasting peace of mind that their critical systems are always protected.
Recovery First
Through rapid recovery technology, we enable MSPs to deliver the fastest RTOs in the industry, helping their clients thrive without the fear of data loss in even the most critical situations.
User Experience
Empowering our partners with scalable, secure BCDR solutions and AI-driven automation, we streamline operations to help MSPs manage their businesses more efficiently and grow confidently.
Our vision is to equip MSPs with scalable, secure business continuity and disaster recovery solutions that protect client data and deliver lasting peace of mind.
Outcomes + Impact
Our work aligned cross-functional stakeholders around a unified product vision, establishing a clear foundation for the long-term roadmap. The proposed streamlined workflows and information architecture improved clarity and usability, while also laying the groundwork for a scalable design system. Leadership responded with enthusiasm, validating the vision and opening the door for future implementation.

Reflection
This project reinforced the value of forward-thinking design as a strategic tool—not just a reactive one. I learned how to balance blue-sky thinking with grounded user insights, and how to bring multiple stakeholders into alignment around a shared vision. In the future, I’d advocate for even earlier integration of engineering and marketing teams to ensure holistic buy-in from day one.
