Visualizing nature-related risks for Commercial real state
As climate and biodiversity risks gained attention, asset and ESG managers faced growing pressure to assess their impact on investments. Emerging regulations like TNFD reinforced the need for better risk analysis.
Existing tools were overly complex, making it hard to quantify exposure and act. There was a clear gap for a user-friendly platform that could simplify data, generate insights, and support compliance.

Data visualisation
Our goal was to design a solution that would provide asset and ESG managers with clear, actionable insights on nature-related risks.
Developing a nature risk scale
To achieve this, we developed a formula incorporating various data points such as geospatial, eDNA and more. This allowed us to present users with a clear comparison of their asset's performance relative to the citywide asset average.

Research & Discovery
In collaboration with Chris (Head of Product), we benchmarked existing solutions and identifed market gaps.
Together we conducted user interviews with asset and ESG managers to understand their pain points and workflows.
We also ran bi-weekly design validation sessions with an expert advisory board to gather feedback.

Design & Prototyping
I Created wireframes to explore different user flows and simplify complexity. Developed high-fidelity prototypes, ensuring a clear and intuitive experience.
We successfully launched the product in beta, providing ESG and asset managers with a tool for assessing nature-related risks.
Early feedback from expert testers was positive, with users highlighting the clarity of insights and ease of use.
Although I left shortly after launch, the solution was well-received internally and aligned with growing market demand.
