Digital Assisted Experience

My Telstra App

Brief

As a customer, there’s nothing worse than waiting on hold, only to be passed around from department to department. As well as frustrating the user, these inefficiencies also cost the business; every unnecessary transfer is a duplication of effort – and head hours – for the customer service team.

To minimise irritation and inefficiency, we introduced a system that ensured users were being directed straight to the right person.

First, we asked users an open question, so they could describe the issue in their own words. In the backend, we built a Natural Language Processor (NLP) to identify keywords and direct the user to the appropriate queue – or, in many cases, to an existing self-service solution, so that users don’t need to wait on hold at all.

Confirmation

Once the user passes the Telstra PIN, we immediately create a call.

Accessibility

To assist users with screen readers, we created a custom character counter in our text field component. This feature warned users once they hit 75 characters, then again when they hit the limit of 80.

Services

I’m a jack of all trades, and a master of some.
Here are my recent areas of focus.

UI Design

I’ve been designing for responsive web, iOS and Android for over 7 years. Put simply; I love UI.

Illustration

From doodling in the margins to illustrating key visuals, I’m pretty handy with a pencil and pad.

Accessibility

I consider accessibility from the beginning of a customer journey to the very end, making sure every single page works for every single person.
