FIRESCORE

an honest interface for high pressure decision making

based on near-realtime data


Role

As a freelance UX Designer for Jupiter Intelligence, my design work is confidential. I worked collaboratively with product managers, scientists, and developers to produce high fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes in a very short timeframe to help the Jupiter product team meet their release goals for FireScore. Under the direction of Julie Pullen, Director of Product, I supported the team by developing and delivering actionable visual assets that communicated to both engineering and product management, created end-to-end user flows that delivered customer benefit, and worked with stakeholders to map what data the application would serve, where it would come from, and how users would interact with the data.

Context

Jupiter Intelligence combines state-of-the-art science from fire behavior, weather, and climate modeling to produce a best-in-class decision support system from high-resolution wildfire risk estimates in real-time for emergency operations support, and 50 years into the future for planning applications.

Process

Working closely with the Director of Product and the in-house fire scientist, I mapped out specific constraints based on the type of data to be shown, situational constraints, and user needs. Mockups and interactive prototypes were created and shared with Figma. Pre-recorded design walkthroughs were created in Loom and shared directly with front-end developers for on-demand reference during the development process and beyond.

Sketches used for building empathy among stakeholders during design workshop sessions with product managers and engineers on the team.
