At House of Travel, I had the opportunity to help shape how UX design was understood and applied across the business. While I was initially brought in for project-based work across five value streams, the role quickly evolved into something broader—embedding design into everyday workflows and helping teams adopt a more human-centred mindset.
House of Travel did not have an embedded UX practice when I joined. The first challenge was not only designing screens, but helping teams understand where design fit in their existing delivery rhythm.
WHAT WAS ACHIEVED
I hosted Figma and Figjam workshops to introduce teams to finding their way around the tools and extracting relevant information.
I ran onboarding workshops and Q & A sessions to help teams understand the difference between UX, UI, BA and Product responsibilities. I used these to identify collaboration opportunities and best practices for where there was crossover in the roles.
I created a library of shared resources from my workshop notes (both in Figma and in the Devops Wiki) to help teams understand how to use their Design resources efffectively.
I established a Figma structure of files and resource material that made design work easier to find, share and maintain.
A UX delivery flowchart, to help establish a shared language and a clearer intake model for teams to decide when to involve design.
WHAT WAS ACHIEVED
Reusable components for internal tools, configuration workflows, and corporate travel products.
Typography, colour, spacing, and interaction states documented as practical Figma foundations.
Template structures that helped developers inspect intent and translate layouts faster.
