Role: Senior Product Designer (Contract)
Duration: 1.5 months
Company: Early-stage, travel and education services for digital nomad families and property management for local hosts.
Team: 1 Product Manager, 1 Associate PM, FE and BE Engineers
Business Goal
The core business goal was to scale the property portfolio without increasing operational overhead by transitioning from a manually-managed, exclusivity-based model to an automated referral property system that integrates third-party listings (specifically Airbnb).
Business Challenge
Due to a limited roster of properties managed by Boundless Life, families would often have to find their own accommodation, choose a different location or forgo completely.
Design Objectives
From 0-1, led the design of a complete host onboarding application to enable local property owners to list properties in global destinations, manage their properties and eventually track their earnings.
• Establish credibility for partner properties with a vetting and approval process
• Enable landlords to sign up and self-serve property management with limited access and a guided set up flow
Highlights
Built an MVP in 1.5 months
Designed closed to 20 unique screens which included a main dashboard, property creation, property management, availability management, booking management and an earnings dashboard
Established a visual look and feel that would complement the parent brand
Implemented a component library to grow with the product
Create property flow * form design with conditionality
Dashboard view, desktop and mobile in 12 point grid system
Earnings page with empty states and annotations with different use cases for product and devs
Designed a component library to grow with the product
Impact
Successfully onboarded at least 50 new hosts after the first release in 6 destinations.
Insights from initial users revealed a mismatch in understanding around additional charges, this feedback helped build a more robust property creation flow.
In order to build an accurate property listing hosts had to spend significant time selecting each inventory item, this increased drop off and abandon rates. By splitting this decision into a mandatory step of amenities and an optional step for inventory, we improved conversion on property listings.
Demonstrated how building even a basic component library can help the team move fast and scale the design further.
