I led the strategy and redesign of the XD Confluence space to transform it from a stagnant, underutilized tool into an engaging, well-structured knowledge hub for the global design community. The result was a curated platform that improved documentation habits, peer learning, and onboarding across teams.

Overview

The existing Confluence space was confusing, lacked ownership, and wasn’t being used effectively. Designers didn’t know where to find guidance, and few felt confident contributing. I led an initiative to overhaul the experience—rooted in research, co-creation, and governance planning—to turn it into a go-to destination for knowledge sharing, onboarding, and connecting across domains.

The Challenge

Fragmented documentation scattered across tools No structure or clarity on what belonged in Confluence Poor engagement and low confidence from contributors No system for ownership or governance Designers unsure how to use it or why it mattered

The Solution

Conducted desk research, usage analysis, and interviews with global designers Defined purpose, tone of voice, and vision for Confluence as a collective platform Mapped pain points, needs, and structured "How Might We" problems Designed new page architecture with clear content types (tools, ceremonies, ways of working, community) Integrated the Playbook and documentation guides to support day-to-day UX workflows Created onboarding-specific content and set standards for documentation (structure, templates, tone) Established shared ownership model and aligned with ambassadors for content curation Piloted early version with key user groups and iterated based on feedback

The Result

Confluence became the primary knowledge hub for the UX Design community Strong adoption for onboarding, tool guidance, and peer documentation Engagement increased through peer-driven content and curated templates Empowered team members to contribute without fear of being “too formal” or “too visible” Platform now supports long-term design learning, ways of working, and organizational memory
