Mission Control
Procedure and Command Script Builder

Since we were creating systems from scratch, I was assigned to collaborate with Flight Operators, Engineers, and Developers to design the anomalies, propulsion, power, and command systems from the ground up. The advantage of starting fresh was that we could ensure a user-centered approach from the very beginning.
While I can’t share all the systems I’ve designed, I’m excited to showcase a tool I developed to simplify the creation of command scripts and procedures, tasks that were previously done in separate programs and took hours to complete.
*Due to the proprietary nature of my work, I can only showcase selected snippets of my design process.
Please note that these designs differ from the final delivered versions.

Design Process:
-
Research
I dedicated significant time to refining the Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagram to ensure the system accounted for every necessary function and action, aligning with the back-end architecture.
User stories were invaluable in keeping the design focused on user needs. These tools played a critical role in shaping a well-rounded design. Every aspect of this work was reviewed and approved by researchers and engineers before moving forward with the design phase.
Wireframing:
-
Ideation
I aimed to make the process of building a script enjoyable by designing commands as "building blocks" that users could stack and drag as needed. The workspace allowed them to freely arrange and reorder these blocks until achieving the desired sequence.
-
Toolbar
I had the idea of a customizable floating toolbar back in 2022, before Photoshop and Figma included it in their latest updates. I wanted users to have all the tools they needed right where they were working. In this case, the toolbar also functions as a guide to indicate where they are in the process. User test results showed high satisfaction with this tool among users.


-
Consolidating Actions
I also created a version without the toolbar, consolidating all actions into a single location: the right-hand panel. This design makes it easy for users to browse, locate, and add desired commands to the work area, where they can then drag and rearrange them to adjust the order as needed.

Simplifying the Complex: Transforming Space and Aeronautical Interfaces
-
Misconception
Interfaces in the space and aeronautical industry are often overwhelmingly complex, driven by the misconception that more information is always better. I have gradually introduced changes to challenge this belief, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

Guided Interaction
Integrating the command and telemetry libraries as dropdown functions in the toolbar would have been highly challenging for developers within our given timeframe. To simplify their task, I designed these toolbar options to function as navigation controls for the right-side panel instead.
