I lead a collaborative project to create a bespoke design style for Wellcome's data visualisation (graphs and charts). My role was to facilitate the collaboration between different functions and stakeholders, holding the tension between the following priorities identified for a successful design system:Clarity - does the data add to the story we want to tell?Precision - does the visualisation of the data actually display what we're saying it does?Aesthetic - does the visualisation look beautiful and communicate the Wellcome Trust brand? Scalability - can the organisation easily create data visualisations using the design system when needed?I used an agile approach to get our work in front of our customer quickly. In order to invite feedback on work-in-progress I set up a gallery in a communal space inside the building, which encouraged feedback from passers-by. I also facilitated regular cross-functional meet-ups, creating space for teams from design, data science, finance, digital etc. to share learning and challenges resulting from testing and to explore the friction between their competing (and complimentary) priorities and find consensus. I sat with the teams doing their work (and having their lunch!) to better understand the challenges they faced when visualising data in their day-to-day work and key projects. This insight fed the design team who could iterate toward a final design system in response to customer feedback. You can see (some of) what we built for Wellcome in one of their major reports (attached). This was a brilliant project to be involved with and a great test-bed for all that I've learned about the way collaborative teams work. All the people I worked alongside at Wellcome and the design team at Clever Franke were brilliant human beings and were a delight to work with.
