This is a case study of a ground-breaking design project. Respecting confidentiality, the project will be blind due to non-disclosure agreements. I was a Product Designer at Lucid DataHub leading design on 2 internal projects. Here are some of the brief notes about the work that I did during my time at Lucid.

Business Problem

Business Problem

Business Problem

Traditional systems of data management cannot meet the requirements of today's enterprise—showing massive inefficiencies, very high operational costs, and lost possibilities for gaining real value from data. Organizations find it difficult to process structured and unstructured data faster and more accurately for quick analysis, consequentially resulting in delayed decision-making and dimmed insight into situations. Added to this, the complexity and inflexibility of the present systems make the integration of data and scaling even more difficult, and it becomes hard for a business to change or evolve with respect to changing market dynamics.

Challenges in Traditional Data Management and Why They Exist?

Challenges in Traditional Data Management and Why They Exist?

Challenges in Traditional Data Management and Why They Exist?

1. Operational Inefficiencies : Traditional data management is often manual, time-consuming, error-prone, and costly. These inefficiencies slow business operations and decision-making, complicate data handling, and increase costs.


2. Complex Data Domains : The rigidity of the legacy systems complicates integration with new technologies and hence makes data management complicated, thus obstructing innovation. Their tight structure makes the data environments fragment and raises challenges to adapt to new business needs.


3. Scalability Issues: As data volumes grow, traditional systems struggle to scale, causing performance bottlenecks and delayed insights. Existing infrastructure often can't handle the increasing complexity, limiting processing capacity and slowing data management.

Approach

Approach

Approach

In the venture of Lucid DataHub, I employed a structured methodology that harmonized practicality and imagination. I first connected intensively with the business initiator to understand completely the project's demands and concept. With the use of design thinking principles, I produced multiple concepts, considering both technological feasibility and user interaction. The inclusion of iterative refinement through feedback cycles from creators and utility trials was enabled by creating prototypes.

Internal Jobs

Project Strategy

Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including Founders and engineers to develop and refine product strategies.Contributed ideas for new features, enhancements, and product roadmap prioritization based on user needs and market trends.

UI Design

Creating intuitive and visually appealing user interfaces (UI) for web applications.

Prototyping & Testing

Building prototypes to visualize and validate design concepts before implementation. Gathered feedback to identify areas for improvement and iterate on designs iteratively.

Integration

Integrating existing UI design with a new one assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the current UI design,Identifying common elements and patterns to maintain consistency and seamlessly blending new design elements while ensuring a cohesive user experience.

Design System

Documented common user interface elements (buttons, forms, navigation bars, etc.) to facilitate future design modifications and product enhancements.built libraries of reusable parts with clear guidelines for behaviour, usage, and style.

Adaptability & Flexibility

Had the ability to adjust and the willingness to take on various roles in a startup setting that moves quickly. To support the goals and objectives of the organization,This may involve taking on additional responsibilities outside of your core role.

Perfomance Management

Operated in a fast-paced environment where agility and adaptability are Crucial..

Played a pivotal role in ensuring that the startup's products are user-centric by collaborating with the founder to understand user needs and preferences and incorporate this feedback into the design process.

Collaborated closely with cross-functional teams, including founders and engineers. They communicate design requirements, gather feedback, and ensure alignment between design decisions and business objectives.

Encountered various challenges and constraints, such as limited resources and tight deadlines. As a Product designer demonstrated strong problem-solving skills, finding creative solutions to design challenges while balancing technical feasibility and user requirements.
