How might we

create consistency across hundreds of regional onboarding flows?

How might we

set realistic earnings expectations before drivers sign up?

How might we

support necessary local variations without fragmenting the experience?

Overview

Uber had hundreds of fragmented driver onboarding flows after years of rapid global expansion. Each region had its own flow, its own copy, its own edge cases. The result was inconsistent quality and no way to improve things globally.

Role

I worked with the team to create consistency across regions while supporting local variations where needed. Most of this work was strategic: frameworks and guidelines, not pixel-perfect screens.

I also designed the Earnings Calculator experiment. Uber was losing drivers because they signed up expecting to earn more than they actually could. The calculator let drivers get personalized earnings estimates based on their location and schedule before committing.

Results

The Earnings Calculator reduced early driver churn by setting realistic expectations upfront. The global framework enabled faster rollouts of improvements across all regions.
