My Role

As a UX designer on the Data & Analytics team, I collaborated with designers, developers and PMs across various topics to improve the experience of data visaluzation across SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), a business intelligence software that combines reporting, dashboards, and forecasting to support better, data-driven decisions.

This experience strengthened my skills in stakeholder alignment, systems thinking, interaction design, and creating cohesive, cross-platform experiences. I’m always happy to dive deeper into my work, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Reflection

Key Learnings

Designing with scalability in mind

I had to shift my thinking from "how can we improve this interface" to "how can we improve this interface in a way that is scalable across products, platforms and languages". Creating scalable designs became even more center stage as I worked with the design systems team to create reusable components that could be used across 13+ data diagrams.

Clearly communicating design decisions

Personalized profile with trends and insights

I often had to present my designs multiple times to different stakeholders for feedback. I learned how to adapt my communication style for each audience, whether PMs, developers, or design leads, to build alignment, get buy-in, and keep everyone focused on shared goals and priorities.

Collaborating with an international team

Working with a team spread across different countries and time zones had its challenges at first. I learned how to make the most of our synchronous time to align on key decisions, and how to manage updates and information asynchronously so everyone stayed informed and connected.
