DESIGN CHALLENGE 1

How to share email threads on mobile?

We designed a MVP version and developed it by reusing Lark docs codes. We released it to a selected group of target users and collected data and user feedback after a period of time.

DESIGN SOLUTION

Share email thread

We redesigned the sharing flow. We released it to another group of users and compared data. The new design is well received by users and stakeholders.

DESIGN SOLUTION

Discuss emails

We tried different proposals and got user feedback. In the final design, users can multi-task. They can review the messages/drafts while reviewing the discussion.
