Onboarding Workflows

SOLIDWORKS

2023

I designed a user-centered approach to design review within Solidworks resulting in a feature which increased the usage of the 3D Markups tool over 3x.

Anytime a Solidworks user needs feedback from another human, whether it be a fellow teammate or an overseas manufacturers, a design review is necessary.

Today, design feedback is often shared through screenshots, PDFs, emails, or physical markups, disconnected from the 3D model. Without spatial context, intent is lost — and as designs evolve through multiple iterations, tracking feedback becomes increasingly difficult. Many teams struggle to keep markups organized, especially when they exist on paper or across disparate tools, leading to missed feedback, rework, and misalignment.
