Rapport · Design + Product case study

Less decoding. More doing.

The first tablet app looked complete but asked people to interpret too much while working. I redesigned the experience around the person, the visit, and a deliberate next action.

Conversation starters

  1. What matters most today?

    Ask whether the priority is the brake noise, getting out quickly, or keeping today’s spend predictable.

  2. Everyday driving

    Learn how the car is used (commuting, errands, hills, stop-and-go) and when the noise shows up.

  3. Build from the last visit

    Acknowledge the previously deferred pads without pressure; ask what would help them feel confident today.

Brings useful questions into the preparation step.
