Overview

In 2014, Tableau was looking to offer a novel analytics experience on native mobile devices. Tableau’s flagship product revolutionized the way people interacted with data. But it was primarily a desktop-first product that struggled on Mobile devices.

I was part of the Product Team tasked with re-imagining data analytics on mobile devices. Vizable leveraged touch and other gestural interactions to deliver a playful, yet compelling experience for data analysts on Mobile devices.

Design Team

I was the lead Product designer working alongside a Creative Agency, Product Management and Engineering team across Austin, Palo Alto, and Seattle.

Design Challenges

In creating a deep analytical experience on Mobile, I grappled with all the challenges that come with designing within such limited screen real estate. These constraints were blessings in disguise, which led to creative interaction design solutions.

Design Approach

Discovery & Research: I joined the team after most of the early research work was done. I mapped user scenarios to Information architecture flows for each feature within the App.
Design Kickoff & Exploration: I explored design metaphors and concepts that support user goals and needs through a series of prototypes and mockups.
Design Critique & User Evaluation: I shared mockups of varying fidelity to facilitate design conversations with users and other stakeholders, aimed at validating design decisions.
Production Design: Churned out high fidelity design specs and worked alongside engineering team to implement designs.
