Redesigning the dashboard to improve end-user experience of monitoring produce bio-data

About Strella

Strella is a biotech company whose main product is setting up sensors in produce storage rooms, and monitoring the bio-data from a dashboard. Businesses can determine when the maturity of the produce is to ship out, thus reducing waste of produce.

Iterate

Quick Turnaround

Roadblocks

Aligning on design choices

  • Quick turnaround meant need for very quick iteration.
  • ROADBLOCK: Gaps occurred between initial user needs, business requirements, and early design concepts that resulted in misalignment.
  • Facilitated additional working sessions with stakeholders to clarify expectations and validate requirements.
  • Explored multiple alternative design solutions, ultimately delivering designs that fully met user needs and satisfied business owners.

First iteration of the dashboard, medium fidelity

Another iteration, starting to use color

Some of the other screens, including a screen that provided data on rooms

Hand-off

Shadcn components

Updated Dashboard UI

  • Delivered high fidelity screens with updated UI to the main dashboard
  • Implemented consistent design to other key features
  • Worked with devs to make sure implementation went smoothly after I handed-off designs
  • Worked with devs to align designs with shadcn component library

Improved design on key features

Final screens handed-off to the client: Main dashboard, maturity data, and room conditions
