Facebook Groups UX Strategy

Making a smooth and consistent user experience for the social media giant.

Project Skills:

How do you separate Groups?

Situation

As part of an exercise available on a public forum, Facebook was looking for a way to potentially make Facebook “Groups” into a separate app to improve the user experience and empower group admins to have more control. I participated in this exercise pro bono.

Approach

Working with the provided Facebook brand style guide, and a project brief that laid out a potential flow, I edited and recreated the screen flow for this new Groups mobile app. I provided rationale for each change based on either best practices, gaps in the experience likely to lead to user confusion, or contradictions with the Facebook style guide.

Results

Since this was a free exercise, there is no data, but this was well received by the community and Facebook reps.
