The range customers navigated at the start of the project.

Customer-created spreadsheets, lists, and notes for remembering favorite flavors

Start with what people already do.

Homemade charts and notes shaped the tool.

An everyday habit.

Quick enough to use while the preference is still fresh.

Flavor ratings, autosaving personal notes, and the later loyalty rewards integration

The whole loop.

From personal notes to loyalty rewards.

The problem

What needed to change.

Customers already rated flavors — in spreadsheets, notes, and group posts. The business couldn’t see any of it.

The work

What I made better.

Star ratings and autosaving notes in the app. Later, the same habit earned loyalty rewards.

Contribution

Tyler led research, concept, interaction design, and testing, collaborating with the Oats Overnight team to ship and evolve the feature.
