My Role
As UX Lead, I directed the end-to-end design strategy for Beam Living’s consolidated digital platform. I focused on stakeholder interviews, persona development, and mapping complex flows across multiple communities, collaborating with designers, developers, and project managers to deliver a cohesive, scalable, and personalized experience. Key responsibilities included strategy definition, wireframing, prototyping, and style guide creation to ensure usability, engagement, and brand consistency.

Project Overview

Beam Living, a premier full-service real estate management company, was recognized for exceptional in-person service but lacked a sophisticated digital experience. The project consolidated four distinct community websites into a single platform, improving usability, streamlining leasing and payment processes, and creating personalized experiences for residents and prospects. The goal was to connect residents and staff digitally while driving measurable business outcomes.

Mapping Complex User Scenarios

Designed detailed user flows to navigate complex scenarios across multiple communities with differing business rules, uncovering user needs while aligning stakeholders to prioritize features and maintain a shared understanding.

User Flow

Prototyping & Iteration

Created a comprehensive style guide detailing components, spacing, typography, and responsive behavior. Provided clear rules for developers and all communities to follow, ensuring consistent, scalable design across the platform.

Results & Outcome

The redesigned platform modernized Beam Living's digital experience while positioning the company as a leader in real estate management. By bridging the gap between in-person service excellence and online functionality, the project delivered a best-in-class digital experience for residents and prospects while driving measurable operational and business improvements. Integrating all payment processes—initial deposits, monthly payments, and autopay—into a unified system reduced friction and cut application-to-lease signing time by 30%. Automated income verification decreased manual review times by 50%, enhancing operational efficiency and improving the experience for prospective tenants. Personalized designs tailored to each community brand boosted engagement, resulting in a 20% increase in user satisfaction, as measured by post-launch feedback surveys.
