Granville is a clean energy company leveraging IoT and cloud infrastructure to enable smarter energy consumption across homes and office buildings. I was brought in to design a responsive internal dashboard that allows users to monitor, analyze, and control their energy usage in real-time, directly from their mobile devices. The platform empowers users with data-driven insights to support energy efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and lower utility costs.

My Role
I was the sole product designer on this project, responsible for translating Granville’s IoT energy infrastructure into an accessible, user-friendly dashboard. The goal was to make complex sensor data understandable and actionable for everyday users, whether they were managing a household or an office building.
Designed a responsive web dashboard for energy monitoring and control
Defined user flows for tracking consumption, managing devices, and accessing analytics
Created modular components and scalable UI patterns for multi-device use
Collaborated with cross-functional teams to simplify complex energy data into visual insights
Designed mobile-first interactions to support on-the-go monitoring and remote control
Problem & Solution
The Problem:
Traditional energy management tools are outdated, complex, and often disconnected from real-time data. Users struggle to understand their consumption patterns or act on them, limiting their ability to optimize usage or reduce environmental impact.
The Solution:
I designed an intuitive, mobile-accessible dashboard that visualizes energy usage in real time and offers clear insights into patterns, behaviors, and device-level data. Users can now remotely monitor and manage their energy consumption — with the ability to detect inefficiencies, identify energy-heavy devices, and make informed decisions on the go.
Research & Discovery
Stakeholder Discovery: Collaborated with the Granville engineering and sustainability teams to understand the technical capabilities of the IoT sensor network
Pain Point Mapping: Identified user challenges around device visibility, real-time data interpretation, and remote access
Data-Driven UX: Translated granular sensor inputs (e.g. occupancy, temperature, appliance load) into visual patterns that support decision-making
Scalability Planning: Ensured the system design could accommodate future device types, locations, and user roles
Dashboard & Responsive Design
The dashboard was designed to feel intelligent yet approachable, giving users control without overwhelming them.
Key UI Features:
Live Energy Monitoring: Real-time consumption breakdown by appliance, room, and time of day
Usage Insights: Graphs, alerts, and summaries of energy trends, peaks, and anomalies
Remote Control: Toggle or schedule device usage, adjust settings, or shut off power remotely
Occupancy & Environment Metrics: Visual overlays showing space usage and ambient data like temperature and air quality
Mobile Optimization: Interfaces prioritized for smartphone users with collapsible modules and scrollable charts

A closer look at the interface details, from energy usage graphs and device controls to mobile views and real-time insights. These screens reflect the balance of clarity, responsiveness, and depth at the core of Granville’s IoT experience.
Learnings
Designing for IoT means thinking about both data trust and human clarity. The challenge was making sensor data actionable, not overwhelming
Responsive design for data-heavy dashboards taught me how to prioritize mobile visual hierarchy without compromising depth
Working cross-functionally with energy experts shaped how I simplified technical language and surfaced key signals from the data
Empowering users to act, not just observe, is what makes a system truly useful — and that became the heart of the design
