Enterprise Holdings came to us with a backlog of feature ideas and enhancement requests — things they wanted to try but needed validated before committing to a full build. We stepped in as the testing team: taking briefs, shaping hypotheses, designing variants, and shipping experiments across all three of their car rental brands.
The Approach
Phase 01
Intake
Requests came in from the client as feature ideas or enhancement asks — sometimes detailed, sometimes just a direction. Before any design work started, each request got shaped into a testable hypothesis: what's changing, what behavior we expect to shift, and how we'd measure it. We also reviewed the current experience for each request — understanding what already existed, where the test would land, and what we were actually trying to improve.
Phase 02
Execution
National Car Rental — design options for review
Designing Options, Not Just Solutions
Taking National as an example — when a request came in, I didn't design a single answer and call it done. I put together multiple viable options, each with a clear rationale, so the client could weigh tradeoffs and make an informed call before anything went to development.
That presentation step was important. It created a shared decision point, gave stakeholders ownership over the direction, and reduced back-and-forth once handoff happened.
Handoff, Build, QA, Launch
Once a direction was chosen, I handed off to the dev team with annotated specs. After build, I reviewed the implementation against the design — checking fidelity, edge cases, and brand accuracy before anything went live.
This same cycle — request, design options, present, handoff, QA, launch — ran across all three brands. Enterprise and Alamo each had their own requests and their own constraints, but the process held.
Phase 03
Outcomes
Across multiple test cycles, the program generated clear directional signals that informed both near-term feature decisions and longer-term product strategy for the Enterprise Holdings digital properties.
