Bringing a new product to life for its first users

At iRobot, I produced the technical illustrations for the Roomba Mini 2026 digital owner’s guide, used by customers to set up their robot for the first time.

Problem

How might we make first-time setup clear and intuitive?

Usability Testing

Observing the unboxing experience in first-time users

We observed 4 users unbox and set up the product, documenting friction points, moments of confusion, and what worked well. These sessions exposed gaps in clarity and helped us reshape the experience.

illustrations

60+ illustrations across across every user touchpoint

From labeled component diagrams to step-by-step maintenance visuals, every illustration was designed to guide users without relying on text alone.

Guide

An interactive digital owner's guide designed for first-time users

The guide I illustrated covers everything from unboxing to advanced maintenance; structured across 12 sections with step-by-step visual instructions.
