Novo Nordisk
Role → UX/UI Designer
Tenure → Feb 2025–Nov 2025
“Advancing industrial equipment by supplying data to track and enhance the machinery's performance and efficiency while fostering positive change.”
Intro
I joined the team as UX/UI Designer in February to support data insights implementation by conducting user research and joining product development team for the data collection system. The data collection system is enabling data collection from wide range of vendor lines, meaning the process of conditional maintenance efforts would be streamlined and less dependent on specific data collection systems for one type of line.
Role and Responsibilities
My role was to lead all design for data collection system and conduct research activities for both projects. I am proud of my skill set that ranged in these areas, adapting to the specific project needs:
→ Drove design for data collection system
→ Led UX Research exploration and testing
→ Contributed to design systems
→ Envisioned roadmaps alongside product partners
→ Established culture and processes of user-centricity within our product teams
Selected Work
01
User Onboarding
Overview
The primary team’s focus was to build out a robust data collection product where the production sites could have insights into machine health and have an overview of components and how they react to manual changes. The company is complex and roles who were intended to be the users of the solution depended on responsibility outlines.
My Role
My task was not only to design the solution but also to map the users from administrative level to task based on the local sites and to what extent they will interact with it.

Line setup
Overview
The system is intended to be compatible with all of the vendor lines and stations we had at Novo Nordisk, therefore the user has to configure the line and PLCs by inputing a wide range of necessary data. The job to set up lines is long and critical. At the end of line set up the containers are pushed into PLC code taking the data from local containers and making the data available to be directed into a data consumer system, for example one that would then could visualise it to local production technicians who would use that data to interpret and perform necessary changes for the stations to optimise the production efficiency.
My Role
My task was to design the portal by closely collaborating with system architect and data engineers, full stack developers and users from the sites. My job was to advocate for simplifying the implementation and saving as much time as possible without sacrificing the quality of the outcome.

03
Selecting Data
Overview
The data collection system aimed to streamline the complex process of configuring production lines across multiple vendor stations at Novo Nordisk. The challenge was to manage and structure large volumes of critical data in a way that was accurate, accessible, and actionable for production teams. The ultimate goal was to ensure that operators and technicians could make informed decisions quickly, using the system to optimise efficiency and minimise downtime.
My Role
I collaborated closely with system architects, data engineers, and developers to design a portal that simplified complex data interactions for end users. My focus was on creating intuitive workflows that reduced setup time and cognitive load, while ensuring the integrity and usability of the data throughout the system.

Health Monitoring
Overview
The system includes a line health monitoring feature, providing users with a real-time overview of production line status. At a glance, users can identify which lines are functioning normally and which require attention, helping them quickly prioritize interventions and reduce potential downtime. The feature was designed to support both high-level operational monitoring and detailed troubleshooting, giving users confidence that they can maintain smooth production flow.
My Role
I was responsible for gathering design requirements for the feature and translating them into a clear, usable interface. A key part of my work was ensuring the design adhered to a standardised naming format for line health identification, so users could consistently interpret and act on the information across all vendor lines and stations.

My time at Novo Nordisk...
I joined Novo Nordisk as a UX/UI designer in hopes of experiencing something new as an industry designer. As my work samples show, I had the chance to make the complex world of data architecture more intuitive and accessible, an experience I will always value.
The variety and scope of projects were a breath of fresh air compared to my previous role, pushing me to grow into a fully rounded product designer. Along the way, I learned how to translate technical requirements into user-centered solutions, collaborate seamlessly with multidisciplinary teams, and design systems that balance complexity with clarity. These experiences have strengthened my design thinking and problem-solving skills, and I’m excited to bring this growth and perspective to my next role.
