Lead Product Designer
Feb 2025 - May 20261 year 3 months
Project Overview

A suite of AI-powered mineral exploration software built by a space-tech company and used by exploration teams worldwide. It turns dense geoscience data into decisions about where to explore. The products bring complex scientific analysis, 3D spatial data and AI-driven insights into one workflow, so geoscientists can review results and trust the evidence behind them. They are designed for specialists with deep domain knowledge but limited time for complex tools.

Responsibilities:
  • Drove product design for Fleet’s AI-powered scientific software, reporting directly to the CTO and turning complex geoscience workflows into production software used by exploration teams worldwide;
  • Initiated a shared design system across ExoSphere, ExoCore and Comet™, built on semantic tokens and reusable interaction patterns that translate directly into code;
  • Partnered with geophysicists and engineers to revisit flows as scientific requirements evolved, keeping reusable patterns intact;
  • Introduced progressive disclosure for geoscience visualisations, balancing stakeholder requests for simplicity with the evidence users need to trust the results;
  • Prototyped AI-driven interactions in React with real data to surface issues static designs missed;
  • Designed onboarding and workflow improvements that helped new users become productive faster with complex analytical tools.
