🕓 Apr 2021 → Jan 2022 ⋅ ~ 8 mo (part-time)
Brief Develop a suite of dashboards to manage the design and manufacture of a prototype ‘Tempest’ aircraft
Solution 5 priority-focused parts-tracking dashboards were developed to highlight manufacturing risks — such as failed tests or missing parts — to prevent expensive mistakes and plan ahead when delays were inevitable
Result Direct savings over 5 years estimated at ~£5 million by a senior engineer. Dozens of hours were saved each week by replacing tedious manual look-ups, improving satisfaction as well as productivity
Key skills Project management: visualising complex dependencies, cleanly ⋅ Parsing requirements from engineers and commissioning views from the data team
MOST INTERACTIVE » Surfers Against Sewage
A gamified tool for schools to help ditch plastics
🕓 Jul 2023 ⋅ 5 days Screenshots available
Brief Create an engaging dashboard prototype for schools enrolled in SAS’s anti-pollution programme. The tool should celebrate progress to date, encourage further action, and make students feel part of a wider community
Solution Students are engaged with playful aesthetics and personalised text in a ‘scrollytelling’ style dashboard (long-form, with narrative elements). Context keeps kids invested. Their school is placed in friendly competition — who’s right ahead, or just behind? — and nearest neighbours are shown on a visually appealing map
