Role
Lead UX Designer
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has embarked on an exciting initiative to revamp its existing application, aiming to enhance user experience, streamline data access, and foster scientific collaboration. The NCAR application serves as a comprehensive platform for researchers, scientists, and meteorologists to access and analyze critical atmospheric data, conduct simulations, and collaborate on cutting-edge research.
NCAR's goal was to enhance usability and enable users to efficiently search for specific datasets. This initiative involves implementing user interface improvements and incorporating advanced data visualization design.
By revitalizing the application, NCAR aims to empower researchers to explore atmospheric phenomena more effectively, ultimately advancing our understanding of complex weather patterns, climate change, and related scientific challenges.
This initiative reflects NCAR's commitment to facilitating collaboration among experts and making vital atmospheric data more accessible for the broader scientific community.

User Research & Personas
Informed by comprehensive user research, we have crafted personas that encapsulate the current goals, profiles, and pain points of researchers when utilizing the EOL platform.
These personas serve as a guiding our team to align and prioritize requirements effectively for the application's redesign.
Site Map & Task Flows
In order to facilitate the design decision-making process, we've organized a series of task flows.
These task flows assist us in mapping out the screen sequences and the user's navigation path within the application, ensuring a smooth and successful task accomplishment.
Prototype, Wireframe & UI Design
I conducted the website audit to evaluate its usability, functionality, and overall user experience.
The primary objective is to pinpoint any issues and areas that need improvement, ultimately enhancing the user experience and boosting user satisfaction.
Design System & Style Guide
A comprehensive design system was developed to aid in the software development process.
