WHAT IS INSIGHTS?

Query editor and data visualization tool

Insights allows scientists to interact with assay outputs, analyze and summarize data, and discover trends across experiments.

I completed 3 projects over the summer! Let’s take a look at what I accomplished

Problem: Scientists using Benchling's Analysis tool often find themselves in suspense as datasets take their sweet time to cook up.

I turned this waiting game into a delightful experience by jazzing up the loading state and putting an end to the blank-screen blues during dataset creation. Bonus: I learned motion design!

Duration: 2.5 weeks // Team: Solo

01︱Dataset loading states

Problem: Users have been yearning for a way to effortlessly whip up datasets from specific tables in their Notebook entries. The existing methods, while useful, just don't cut it when you're dealing with structured tables that deserve the VIP treatment.

Fellow intern Amelia and I collaborated to make this dataset creation as smooth as a finely tuned experiment, with buttons, chips, and a sprinkle of UX magic.

Duration: 2 weeks // Team: Amelia Baumhart

02︱Create a dataset from a Notebook table

Problem: I’m unable to share details publicly as this project hasn’t yet been shipped. But look how cute Jeffy P is!

Curious? Contact me ;)

Duration: 10 weeks // Team: Solo

03︱Embedding data in a Notebook entry

REFLECTION + LEARNINGS

Familiarize with existing patterns, both in Benchling as well as enterprise patterns

Goal-oriented design facilitates efficient collaboration

Have a strong design opinion, and back it up
