I led the redesign of a building-data platform

Datakwip needed a building-data platform that worked for one complex facility or many properties. I led the product design and helped the client team turn it into working software.

At a glance

I shifted the focus to customer workflows.

The existing platform reflected its technical structure. I worked with Datakwip's lead developer to rethink what customers needed to see first and where they would go next.

01 · Product structure

I designed for one facility or many properties.

I used persona walkthroughs to shape navigation and layout, then designed a modular dashboard standard for single-facility and portfolio customers.

Adaptable dashboards.

02 · Team guidance

I gave developers the detail they needed to build.

I set the order, fidelity, and review points for design alongside the team's Agile development. Handoff could start from an annotated wireframe when that was enough to build.

03 · Outcome

Datakwip's team implemented the accepted designs.

I saw the final designs working in Datakwip's internal platform. The client described a smoother workflow, and its referrals led to smaller engagements for Magic Button Labs.
