Created a visual workflow representation that clearly communicates the complex Spatial Data Delivery Service (SDDS) process.

The offshore wind industry needed a simplified, accessible tool to compare geological features for foundation siting decisions. Existing geological assessment data was locked in complex Excel spreadsheets, making it difficult for wind farm developers to quickly evaluate and compare site conditions across different geological environments.

Transforming dense policy research into engaging, actionable insights for government stakeholders and industry professionals

Led UX research and design to transform a complex, technical process into an accessible step-by-step wizard.

I designed and developed a co-creation toolkit to empower people working with environmental data to create effective and user-friendly environmental data services.

Facilitated stakeholder collaboration to define data needs for a geothermal energy exploration platform.

Published an interactive decision support tool prototype on the Figma Community, offering a reusable template for other designers creating similar tools.

Conducted a comprehensive review of existing Decision Support Tools in our organisation, identifying common challenges and areas for improvement. Synthesised findings into best practice guidelines for user research, development, and scientific integration. Created internal documentation and a supporting brochure to disseminate recommendations.

I conducted a successful phase of user testing with participants from organisations within hazard monitoring and response. During this phase, I created the initial prototype, led user testing sessions, and analysed the findings to shape future development.

In this project, I created a poster to illustrate the flow of data within our organisation and how the informatics department collaborates with other departments to support various functions.

Led the complete redesign of the Informatics intranet, transforming it into a user-friendly hub that clearly showcases our team's role and capabilities.

I designed, developed, and launched a minimalist to-do list app featuring gamification elements to boost user engagement.

During a five-day design sprint, a collaborative team of stakeholders in Devon developed a prototype decision support tool to facilitate carbon-focused land use decisions in the rural environment, incorporating baseline and future land cover options, economic incentives, and user-friendly functionality.

Incorporating service blueprint methodology, I created impactful posters and visualisations that vividly depict BGS's extensive data landscape and its role in addressing geoenvironmental challenges.

My challenge in this project was to prototype a decision support tool which would enable local government, the local community and other relevant partners such as regulators and water utility companies to collaboratively plan and evaluate the environmental sustainability of urban growth planning scenarios using co-designed water neutrality indicators.

The shared vision for the Water Info Hub is equality of access to data and tools for the water environment. The aim is to create a long-lasting, sustainable resource that grows over time, providing decision makers with the data and insights necessary to make better decisions while giving citizens access to the same knowledge.

I created a comprehensive design system for our organization based on our unique brand identity.

In this project, I played a key role in a design sprint, collaborating with a team to develop a storyboard that vividly depicted how individuals would prefer to explore different natural hazards.

I spearheaded the design process, collaborating with researchers, data scientists, and developers to create detailed prototypes, facilitate improved collaboration, and ensure efficient use of resources in simplifying access to nutrition data in Africa.

I spearheaded the development of the Labs Information System, streamlining sample management and tracking for the inorganic chemistry lab staff by replacing cumbersome spreadsheets, conducting user research, and collaborating closely with the lab staff to ensure the tool met their needs, resulting in widespread adoption and demonstrable impact.

I created wireframes and a design guide to enhance the discoverability and utility of geospatial data through user-focused data portals, based on extensive user research conducted for the 'Geo6' Data Discoverability project.

A comprehensive design system that empowered developers to create consistent and user-friendly services

This project aimed to prototype and test an interactive tour of a prospective underground observatory location, utilizing user segmentation, customizable tour lengths, and Twine for visualizing branching paths.

This project involved the development of a GIS tool for exploring predictive shrink-swell models in the UK, utilizing stakeholder input to shape the available data and user groups.

I led the complete overhaul of the Geochronology and Tracers Facility (GTF) app, transforming it into a user-friendly platform that allows exploration, previewing, visualization, and downloading of data from the laboratory.
