PRODUCT DESIGN

Reduced feelings of 'corporateness' by 180%, and robbed users of a multi-portal experience by eliminating 12+ hidden steps.
IBM Cloud users were 210% more likely to rate services as 'powerful', 'innovative', and 'secure' than before.
Part 1 — Making IBM Cloud feel like IBM
1.0.01
With 60+ designers working across a rapidly growing IBM Cloud, we set out to make a single consistent cloud that is distinctly IBM.
1.0.02
Exploration, iteration, execution, documentation… we took the newly created IBM design language and defined what it ment to products and IBM Cloud's ecosystem.



IBM Cloud needed a major refresh. Nothing was off the table in our explorations.


From exploration to documentation, our small tiger team did it all.
Part 2 — Deceivingly Simple to Actually Simple
2.0.01
At the first glance, the creation of an IBM Direct Link seems pretty easy, just a few form fields. Though the reality is far from being simple, requiring 12+ subsequent steps and multiple support tickets.
2.0.02
We built customers a truly self-service way to spin up new cloud networks by removing the surprising need for multiple support tickets and agents.
