Designing a shared workspace for data scientists

Data science portal interface designed for Lloyds Banking Group.
Year 2018
Agency Publicis Sapient
Role UI Design, Motion Design, Illustration
Context and problem
Data scientists moved between disconnected tools and resources, adding repeated steps to creating and managing experiments.
How I helped
I mapped the workflow with data scientists, tested the product structure, and designed one workspace with clear interaction feedback and supporting visuals.
Impact
Projects, resources, and experiments came together in one consistent experience with clearer feedback for important actions.

Mapping the workflow

I partnered with data scientists to map their end-to-end journey and identify repeated, time-consuming steps. I contributed the interface perspective while we tested assumptions and agreed the product structure together.

The map exposed repeated tasks and gaps between tools.

I then led the UI, motion, and illustration work, partnering with product owners, business analysts, and experience designers to turn the agreed journey into the interface.

The interface gives teams a consistent way to create and manage experiments.

I used focused motion to confirm important actions such as creating or deleting a project.

Motion gives immediate feedback for project actions.

Instead of moving between disconnected tools, data scientists could manage projects, resources, and experiments in one workspace, with consistent feedback for critical actions.
