Confidential Cybersecurity
Endpoint & Cloud Platform
An early-stage international startup I joined as Head of Design, leading product design strategy and supporting marketing creative initiatives. With team members spanning the US and Italy in multiple time zones, active coordination and clear communication was vital to maintain the rapid velocity needed to go to market quickly.
'Helios'
Endpoint Monitoring Dashboard
Launched during the pandemic, the need to secure distributed and at-home workers was at its peak. We designed a platform that utilized local hardware endpoints paired with cloud intelligence and monitoring, delivering robust enterprise-level cybersecurity to the distributed worker, wherever they are.
Research, data gathering, and organization
This highly-visual, interactive forensic search tool allows analysts to rapidly explore events, assets, and their connections across the network. Leading many whiteboarding and design sessions with real-world cybersecurity analysts and experts, we quickly worked through possible use cases, pain points, and concepts to produce rapid prototypes driven by actual network data. These solutions allowed the team to get responses quickly and iterate faster for better solutions that continued to make our customers happy.
Wireframing and early prototyping
Through many iterations, reviews, and tests, we developed multiple wireframes for several user flows and user types. This process produced constant refinement and progress, allowing us to build prototypes and gather feedback more quickly.
High-fidelity prototypes for desktop, tablet, and mobile
After many iterations, we developed a design language that was clear, accessible, and available in light and dark mode for desktop, tablet, and mobile. With a diverse library of use cases, the screen layouts needed to be responsive to many devices.
