Fieldlens
Case Study
The Challenge
Founded in 2010 by Doug Chambers and Matt Sena, Fieldlens was a startup based out of NYC that was looking to improve construction job site management software. When I joined the team in 2013, they had an initial user interface that they wanted to improve upon, and they needed to connect with construction field site managers and contractors.
I created the onboarding screens for the FieldLens mobile app.
My Role
I worked on the mobile and web app UI, studying responsive web design (which was, at the time, a fairly new technology) to help create an experience that would be consistent regardless of the device the UI was viewed on. I also designed and coded responsive templates for jobsite notifications and marketing emails, designed trade show and marketing graphics, and created illustrations for a corporate website redesign.

One of my first UI design projects was to create a pop-out help menu for the FieldLens web app. The menu contained graphics, video, and written content, and would initially display help topics related to the user's current location in the app. The user could choose to search for another help topic or browse the help index if the initial content wasn't relevant to them.

What I Learned
I studied responsive web design for about a year, honing skills that I would later use to create UIs and websites for future clients. I am forever grateful to the design team at FieldLens - we all grew together to create something groundbreaking for the construction industry. It was during this time that I first studied User Interface design, and began putting together a set of guidelines that I would apply to future UI projects.
Results
I worked with FieldLens through several rounds of funding, and as the team grew from a small group to a small company. Eventually FieldLens was acquired by WeWork in 2017, and the software is still widely used throughout the construction industry.
