Stack planning is a tool that is designed to forecast the utilization of large spaces such as college campuses or large buildings. This application offers a graphical representation of floor plans, allowing users to create and analyze scenarios to efficiently manage groups of people and available spaces.

Web-based SaaS platform
UX Designer
Workspace planners would benefit from an interactive platform to facilitate the planning of movetasks, which involves relocating groups of people from one location to another. Additionally, they required a view of associated metrics, such as building utilization and capacity forecasts.
As a UX designer for this project, I developed strategies and designs for an interactive SaaS application. I created high-fidelity prototypes from wireframes which were initially developed based on the requirements of the project manager. Subsequently, I was also tasked in validating these prototypes.
This project was a strong collaborative effort between the project management team and designers. We held daily meetings to address current issues and explore possible solutions.
I also participated in additional meeting with developers and external stakeholders to address any concerns they had with the design and gathered feedback for improvements.
I successfully designed a seamless drag and drop interface, allowing users to allocate either individuals or a group of individuals to specific floors of a building. Additionally, I integrated associated metrics to help workspace planners make informed decisions regarding their tasks.
This project was particularly complex and within an industry I was initially unfamiliar with, presenting a learning curve regarding terminologies and design platforms. As a result I gained a deeper understanding of workspace logistics and of design processes from a large corporate perspective. I was fortunate to have a supportive team, which was instrumental in the successful completion of this project.
