Mobile App Design and User Interface Guidelines

Zen Ecosystems operates in the smart energy and demand response industry, providing software and IoT solutions that help businesses optimize energy use, reduce peak demand, and support grid efficiency.

Making Complex Energy Management Intuitive

The product is complex, serving both internal Zen Ecosystems teams and external customers. Internally, it supports a variety of roles, including account executives and energy market specialists. Externally, customers have access to the platform, which accommodates a wide range of user roles, from high-level executives overseeing energy strategy to staff managing individual devices and installations on the ground.

I was brought in to improve the design of the application, applying design best practices and usability heuristics. Using contextual design, I worked directly with users to understand their workflows and update the application to better serve the needs of all user types.
