Designing for Real People with Real Stakes

Geotab’s rules engine was powerful but hard to use, especially for non-technical fleet managers responsible for keeping drivers safe and operations compliant. I led the E2E redesign to make rule creation more intuitive and scalable. Collaborating with product and engineering, I focused on aligning mental models, simplifying workflows, and building a foundation that empowered users to create and manage automations to better support real-world decision-making.

Fleet managers weren’t looking to build logic—they needed to automate safety and compliance in ways that supported their business goals, without relying on technical skills.

From Problem to Solution

The original experience relied on unclear flows and technical terminology, which made it difficult for users to create effective automations. My goal was to reduce confusion, improve alignment with user jobs to be done, and bring the tool in line with Geotab’s design system. I conducted user interviews and usability tests, mapped decision paths, and collaborated across teams to restructure how conditions and triggers were built. The redesigned experience improved clarity, reflected users’ mental models, and laid the foundation for the Geotab's evolving notifications system.

This project reinforced the value of aligning complex systems with user mental models. Designing for clarity at scale doesn’t mean oversimplifying—it means being intentional with structure and language.
