Strategy & Vision
I utilized flowcharts to effectively communicate the strategy for fully realized capabilities of the ES-Control product phase by phase
Iterate w. existing product
To bring the vision to life, the product owner and clients collaborated to develop a solution that eliminates the need for research programming
Uncover the core problem
To improve the interface, I led a team whiteboard session to address the root issue: supporting evaluations that build confidence in power system investment decisions.
Define Requirements
I outlined core requirements for ES-Control to align the team.
With an organized content setup structure, I enabled researchers to define deep-learning algorithms and engineers to explore supporting frameworks.
Design solutions
My favorite part of product design is brainstorming right after uncovering the root cause of a problem. My design teammates and I time-boxed to focus time on brainstorming and discussing approaches to tackle the issue.
Transparency in iterations
I set up weekly check-ins for the design team to gather feedback on in-progress work with rest of the team, building trust and minimizing surprises during presentations and hand-offs.
Delivery & Hand-offs
I annotated key frames in Figma to align with engineers and bring our envisioned product experience to life.
