Speeding up business processes with eSigning and ID verification
Yoti is a scale-up aiming to become the world's most trusted identity platform, helping people to securely share personal details with businesses.
In 2019–20, I led the design of YotiSign, a product allowing users to sign documents and verify their ID in a single digital experience, streamlining processes for businesses.

Approach and impact
When I joined, YotiSign had an MVP with basic functionality. The goal was to increase conversion for large enterprise customers and shorten contract signing times. My approach balanced ongoing research and rapid delivery.
​
Our research focused on understanding what would motivate enterprises to switch providers and mapping e-signing and ID verification processes across industries. I also ran remote user testing to better understand how the product was used by document signers, as direct feedback was hard to get.
​
Despite valuable research insights, we prioritised fast, iterative delivery. I worked closely with the PM and Tech Lead to break down long-term plans into manageable releases, ensuring we could meet ambitious commercial goals.
​
By tailoring the product to the Real Estate and Legal industries, we secured two large enterprise customers, becoming their primary e-signing provider. Additionally, we increased the percentage of recipients signing within the first two hours from 59% to 72%.

Mapping the user journey for setting up an organization was one of the most complex features we tackled. The combination of intricate backend systems and the advanced needs of super-users made this a particularly gnarly challenge to design and implement.
