Problem
Orcasound, a platform for tracking and analyzing orca sounds, struggled to provide a user-friendly experience for researchers and citizen scientists. The existing interface was overly complex and difficult to navigate, making it challenging for users to easily access critical data and insights.
Solution
I redesigned the user interface to streamline navigation and improve usability. By simplifying the layout, reorganizing data presentation, and introducing intuitive filtering options, I created an experience that made it easier for users to access, analyze, and track sounds. The design also focused on improving accessibility for users in different environments and devices.
Impact
The new design significantly improved user satisfaction and efficiency in tracking marine animal sounds. Post-launch user testing revealed increased ease of navigation and reduced task completion times. The updated platform allowed researchers to spend more time focusing on data analysis and conservation efforts, driving better outcomes for the organization.
