The problem
Great data, wrong place
I had already designed a detailed web dashboard for Bharat Carbon. But leaders on the move needed a quicker way to check carbon and ESG progress.

Carbon data a busy CEO can read on the go.
A light mobile companion to the Bharat Carbon dashboard, so leaders see emissions, consumption and strategy between meetings.

01 · The short version
Read this if you only have a minute
What I did
Cut it down to what matters
Talked to the people who'd use it, then rebuilt the experience around four modules and seven short flows for the phone.
The result
A check‑in, not a report
A fast, light app that shows only the metrics leaders act on, designed and prototyped in three weeks.
3weeks from kickoff to clickable prototype
7user flows, from sign‑in to solutions
4data modules: emission, consumption, strategy, solutions
5design rules taken straight from user needs
02 · Who it's for
Designed for people with no time
CEOs, CXOs, VPs and department heads check in for a few minutes at a time. Every screen had to earn its place.

03 · How it came together
Three weeks, three steps
A short project needs a tight plan. Here's how the time was spent.
- 1
Week 1
Listen
User interviews with leaders, a review of the web dashboard, and a new information architecture.
- 2
Week 2
Shape
User flows and wireframes for all seven journeys, tested early with the team.
- 3
Week 3
Polish
Visual design, a colour for each module, and a clickable prototype ready for handoff.
04 · Key decisions
The choices that made it work
Decision 01
Home answers one question first
- Why
- Leaders open the app to see how things are going, not to explore filters.
- What I did
- “Explore” lists the four modules as big numbered cards, one tap from the detail.
Decision 02
Every module has its own colour
- Why
- When you only glance, colour tells you where you are faster than a title.
- What I did
- Emission is orange, consumption red, strategy yellow, solutions green, used the same way on every screen.
Decision 03
Trends and targets, not tables
- Why
- A leader wants to know “are we on track?”, not read every row.
- What I did
- Charts compare actuals with targets and benchmarks, with the key number shown large.
05 · The screens
Seven flows, one calm app
Got data that people don't read?
- I turn dense dashboards and reports into screens busy people actually use.
- Fast when it matters: this one went from kickoff to prototype in 3 weeks.
- Comfortable interviewing senior leaders and turning what they say into design.
