Our Approach
- 01Shadowed climate analysts for two weeks to understand their workflow and data interpretation pain points.
- 02Designed a data visualisation system using custom chart components that prioritise clarity over decoration.
- 03Used Lenis for smooth scrolling through long-form data reports, keeping users engaged with narrative-driven analytics.
- 04Iterated through four prototype rounds with actual policy-maker users to validate comprehension and decision speed.
Challenges
- ✕The dataset had 40+ variables — distilling this into meaningful views without dumbing it down was the central design challenge.
- ✕Real-time data streaming meant we had to rethink state management entirely, opting for a websocket-backed architecture.
- ✕Users ranged from data scientists to government officials — the interface had to serve both extremes without alienating either.
Client Feedback
“For the first time, we can present climate data to non-technical stakeholders without endless explanations. The dashboard speaks for itself.”
