🧩 Understanding User Pain Points
Through stakeholder discussions and app usage analysis, we mapped core user challenges:
No appliance wise breakdown
Technical metrics felt unclear
No visibility into usage trends
No benchmarks or alerts to guide action“I only know I’ve overspent when the bill arrives. By then it’s too late.”
🧠 Information Architecture Exploration
Option 1: Horizontal Scroll
Clean, linear experience
❌ Not scalable for future features
❌ Hard to predict what's next
Option 2 ✅: Tab-Based Navigation
Familiar and focused
✅ Easy to scale
❌ Requires extra taps
We chose Option 2 for better clarity and long-term scalability.
Solution
We divided the solution and design in two phases.
Impact & Learnings
💡 40% boost in appliance screen engagement
🕹️ 25% used Daily/Monthly toggle on first use
🧩 Calendar module reused in 2+ products
⚡ Users reported better awareness of energy patterns
✨ Learnings
Designing for non-technical users in an energy-heavy space requires radical simplification.
Reusable components, like modular graphs, speed up delivery across multiple features.
Even in short projects, aligning with user mental models improves usability dramatically.
✅ Summary
This project gave me the opportunity to step in midstream and take ownership of two essential experiences in a live product. Despite tight constraints, we delivered high-impact features that translated complex energy data into user-friendly, empowering tools—making sustainable energy choices easier for thousands of users.
