Design Process
When I first arrived to Trek Bicycle Corporate, there was no formal process in the digital space for UX/UI designers. This was very important for a successful working relationship with the developers, engineers, BAs, etc. Throughout my time at Trek I have implemented a formal process with room for evolvement.

Process Summary

As a part of the process, it was key to have a Jira board to align with the development process. This helped track our work form a personal and team level, as well as from a project level.
