Creating a metrics-driven design culture

I lead the Product Experience team’s design efforts at Whispir, and I’m proud to say that we introduced metrics such as satisfaction scores, support tickets, and performance indicators. These metrics empower our team and stakeholders to improve customer satisfaction and experience.
