Challenge & Approach

While at BAE Systems Applied Intelligence, I developed comprehensive scenario planning visualizations for explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) operations, focusing on specialized units responding to threats in high-density venues like sports stadiums. My process began with extensive research and analysis of established EOD protocols, spatial dynamics of stadium environments, and critical decision points during emergency responses. I conducted interviews with security experts and venue managers to understand operational constraints and communication needs during high-stress scenarios. Through iterative generative ideation sessions, I explored various visualization approaches that would effectively communicate complex response patterns while maintaining clarity during crisis situations.

Impact & Outcome

The resulting concept design translated intricate EOD procedures into an intuitive visual system that enhanced coordination between specialized units during threat responses. My sketches and final graphic established clear visual hierarchies that prioritized critical information and decision points, enabling faster response times and improved situational awareness. The visualization system accommodated various stadium configurations while maintaining consistent information architecture across different scenarios. This project demonstrated my ability to apply design thinking to highly specialized operational challenges, creating visual tools that supported critical decision-making in complex security environments.
