Team

2 Product Designers

Pain Point: Experience of filtering data in a PDF

Desktop Solution: Reimagination of how a user will filter data.

To achieve an intuitive and interactive app, we started with an mvp and worked directly with users to iterate.

My core contributions as a Product Designer were:

Site maps
Task flows
Page flows
Wireframes
Prototypes
Design System

Reflections

Map feature should be a product of its own to enable extendability into other domains like political reports, consumer surveys, humanitarian reports e.t.c.

Leveraging a frontend javascript framework enabled rapid iteration and modularity this was a game changer.

Future versions would benefit with addition of following features:

Search to enable better lookup of data
Download of specific regional dataset for further investigation
An API to load data, asynchronus fetching of datasets thus facilitate scaleability.
Shooting for the moon hear, but a discoverable section with editorial commentary would improve consumption of the report, i.e. integration with media outlet.
