Growth design at Natural Cycles

Natural Cycles is the first digital method birth control cleared by regulators both in the US and in Europe. The product is composed of both a mobile app & a hardware device (thermometer or wearable) in order to work.
The main goal within the Growth team I was port of was to optimize the App and Web flows leading to signup, increase the customer base through a series of ab tests & design iterations and implement product packages as the number of hardware choices available would scale up.
With the initial help of the Product Manager, I looked at the Web & App signup funnels and sliced data to understand where major dropouts happen. I additionally had a look at previous a/b test & learnings we got from that data.
In addition to this, I planned and carried evaluative research to understand the underlying reasons leading to the behaviours uncovered by the data. The main tasks I did for this usability testing include:
The main learnings of my discovery journey are summarized below.
This approach helped me and my team list a number of opportunities with assumptions to be tested. I've listed some of the most relevant ones:
As a team we selected the tests to prioritize, based on impact and effort. Some examples of experiments I worked on can be seen below. Initial designs are on the left, final designs are on the right side.
In order to make the design rationale of my work available to any stakeholder, I add in-context comments to my designs, wherever relevant. There are couple of advantages in doing so:
Along with developers, I've created a design handover process that's optimized for asynchronous communication. In order to reduce the clutter and information overload, I create a separate file (Deliverables for Devs) with design and annotations that are relevant for the implementation process only. These might highlight specific changes or more specificity regarding the desired interaction.
I additionally, create a space where I highlight new components or changes in previous ones, along with some CSS properties, hoping this will proactively reduce changes when performing visual QA.
One area of focus has been scaling the design system and creating its documentation. From the design perspective, the goal is to increase work efficiency for product designers while ensuring design consistency & scalability. From a cross-functional perspective, the goal is to create a unified language that ensures consistency across platforms & departments.
