The Challenge

Designing a user-centric dashboard for Olive Gaea that seamlessly empowers admins, super admins and employees to easily track and manage their carbon offsetting journey, fostering a sustainable future with a sense of purpose and fulfilment.

Overview

A collaborative journey with Olive Gaea, a visionary startup dedicated to combating climate change by planting trees to offset carbon footprints. As a Freelance Senior Product Designer, I had the privilege of partnering with Olive Gaea to create a comprehensive and intuitive dashboard solution.

The dashboard's purpose is to empower users, both individuals and businesses, with personalised and accessible tools to actively participate in environmental preservation, while fostering a sense of community and positive impact.

Key Features of the product

1. Activity Management: The dashboard allows users to select from a range of impactful activities offered by Olive Gaea, such as beach cleaning, tree plantation, and more. Additionally, businesses can customise activities tailored to their specific environmental goals.
2. Pledge Management: Users can take environmentally conscious pledges, like opting for car-free days or carpooling with colleagues, and track their progress in real-time.

Through this overview, I will dive into the design process, challenges faced, and the innovative solutions implemented to build a dashboard that serves as a powerful catalyst for a greener and sustainable future. By incorporating these key features, I aim to showcase how the dashboard seamlessly integrates with users' lives, encouraging them to make environmentally responsible choices and collectively drive positive change for our planet.
