My Work
Long-Term Usability & Ideation Testing
Moen Smart Faucet with
Motion Control
Long-term usability and ideation testing for the Moen Smart Faucet with Motion Control was a key focus of our efforts. I spearheaded the design and execution of approximately 40 iterative tests over the course of nearly a year to identify the perfect gesture set for the faucet. This rigorous testing process was seamlessly integrated into our NPI roadmap, with our in-house test lab running continuously. By leveraging my expertise and collaborating with the Product Design (UX) team, we achieved this milestone without incurring additional costs. Experience the impact of this project firsthand.
