Problem and Goals

DoorDash connects restaurants to consumers using a fleet of "dashers" to deliver the food.

As the company and brand has grown, the number of orders has been steadily increasing. To combat the demand, they needed to get more dashers on the road to fulfill the orders.

To do this, the product team in charge of the Dasher experience planned to test a new incentive model called "Milestones".

What is a Milestone Bonus?

This bonus is a reward for completing a certain number of deliveries over the course of several days.

Understanding the current models

Before beginning design, I always collect information on how the problem is currently being handled, what the users' pain points are, and how competitors are solving similar or adjacent problems.
App Workflow Documentation
  • Map out a user's typical flow.
  • Explore the scope of the app to see where new features fit in.
Usability Testing
  • Understand the current pain points.
  • How do users currently discover bonuses?
Studying Other Apps
  • Lyft and Uber (similar bonuses)
  • Starbucks, Duolingo, fitness apps (rewards and achievements)

Ideation:  Sketches to Mini Prototypes

To brainstorm and iterate quickly, I used index cards to make a lo-fi prototype. I then transferred these to Figma and created a digital prototype to better understand how the flow felt.

Final Designs

After multiple iterations and a few rounds of feedback with the design team, I put together the final design specs to present to the design tam and pass to the engineering team.
