About: Campaign Management and Marketing Automation Platform is a cloud-based platform that helps marketing managers to specify campaigns, target audiences, payloads, and scoring rules that governed the campaign. It’s a useful and meaningful tool that contributes a big value to the marketing users.
Collaborating with the marketing team of our client (a major technology retail company, one of the world’s leading renowned technology retailers) on the design of their campaign management and marketing automation platform, we, the Infosys Marketing Insight team, helped completed this pilot project.
As the principal designer of this project, I adopted the design thinking methodology, conducted extensive user research, and proposed the idea of an intuitive user experience and graphical user interface for non-technical users fulfilled by creating complex campaign roll-out maps with ease and delight. With the strong and professional graphic design expertise, I teamed up with our principal architect and data scientist and meanwhile worked with the front-end development team to ensure that the final graphical user interface design for the platform is done cleanly, intuitively and professionally. We received positive feedback from our clients and this project – campaign management and marketing automation platform – helped us establish high reputation in the industry.

“I worked with Felix very closely in designing a Campaign Marketing Automation Platform for a major technology retail company. It is perhaps the world’s most renowned technology retailer. Famous for stressing visual function and design and the overall user experience.
Felix executed such design. To their uncompromising standards. The GUI was clean, intuitive, and engaging. Marketing managers were able to specify campaigns, target audiences, payloads, and scoring rules that governed the campaign. His initial visual designs alone were a principal factor in winning this work.
Felix is the highest combination of creativity, visualization, and analytical caliber. It comes across in his speech, dress, understanding of ergonomics, and superb visual design skills across a range of vertical disciplines. He is highly attuned to and designs a look and feel with the total user experience in mind. Simply the best.”

“Felix brings authenticity to the design process. He successfully created an elegant UI solution for a vexing Big Data problem. Throughout he kept the focus on what mattered: making data understandable so the end user can gain insights. Multiple iterations of rapid prototyping allowed the client to quickly zero in on what mattered.
In addition to this, Felix has a deeply creative side. He is able to shift from data-driven UIs to inspiring visual design as needed.“

Daniel managed Felix directly
“Felix is a talented guy with lots of potential! Honest, insightful and passionate about technology Felix will bring a fresh perspective to any UX team looking for a young, relevant point of view.”
About: The XFINITY X1 Sports app provides fast and convenient access to live games, scores of all games currently in progress, additional coverage of the games you are not watching, and upcoming league schedules. Participating in the design research process and working with the product team, I created the visual design and data visualization for the game rating system, and provided maintenance service for the Game Extra in X1 Sports TV App. Such visual design gives users a better way to view visualised data in detail while watching games and creates a new experience for users when they are watching TV.
Contribution: Entire project.
About: As the core UX design team in Comcast Silicon Valley Innovation Centre, our mission is not only to improve existing products (especially dedicated to XFINITY X1 apps), but also to come up with new concepts and experimental ideas for the company’s future products. X1 Karaoke App is a conceptual product, which has both a XFINITY X1 TV app and a mobile app. It is a stand-alone product that is not included in the current personal media or the entertainment XFINITY X1 TV apps. As the only designer of this project, I started from doing research on user experience and found that Karaoke, as an entertainment programme,has brought so much fun in an individual’s life. TV is such a device that not only broadcasts programmes to users to create a one-way experience but also enhances an interactive entertainment experience. In addition, the user flow, wireframes, and visual design have been created for XFINITY X1 box, therefore, this product does have the capability to make Karaoke happen at home!
