It was meant to support users in their decision making process, highlight tradeoffs and give an in-depth visual analysis of the given choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After 4+ years of researchers and developers working on the tool without any design involvement, I was hired to lead the UX effort to redesign the tool. With all the challenges of educating a team of scientists about design, and getting stakeholder buy-in on the importance of design, I led the design research and usability testing, the UI and visual design, and even creating a motion graphic (below) to help simplify the core concept. <br><br>Tradeoff Analytics is now open source. To me, it represents a true learning experience as a one-woman-design-show on an all developer\/scientist team. The real success story here is that the people I worked with are now advocates for usability and for integrating design at the beginning of tech innovation and never as an afterthought.<br><br>Below is a sample of the work.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\"
