Carbon Portal

Role:   Lead Interaction Designer
Project Overview

A leading carbon emissions organization needed to provide a simplified approach for it's partners to track and report their carbon emissions.

The customer stakeholders were brought into rapid brainstorming sessions to understand pain points as well as domain terminology and best practices.

Initial Design

The initial design included confusing navigation, users were confused where they were in the process. In addition, it was very difficult to support making changes needed for new reporting requirements.



Research Findings

The research indicated three primary roles, which the solution would have to support.

Wireframe Prototype

We use these annotated wireframes to share our work in-progress across the widely distributed team. This allowed everyone to focus comments on the solution functions without losing focus on how it would look (e.g. colors, icons).


Final Design

Our solution provided a more 'content-driven' solution supporting multiple roles and improved navigation guidelines.

    The interface shouldn't interfere with the customer   •   If you can't briefly explain the solution, it's too complex   •   The design should include an element of fun!
