Project Overview

Project Overview

CattleSense is a digital platform designed to streamline livestock management through real-time health tracking, feeding schedules, and intuitive data monitoring. This end-to-end design project involved deep research, user empathy, and a visual system tailored to the agricultural domain.

My Role

My Role

Led End to End Design

Owned the full process from initial research to final UI across desktop and mobile.

Designed for Flexibility

Built a scalable system that adapts across devices and grows with the product.

Sketched and Refined

Started with wireframes, then brought it to life with clean, cohesive UI design.

Aligned with Stakeholders

Worked closely with the team to make sure design fit real-life workflows.

The Challenge

The Challenge

Farmers needed a simpler way to manage livestock health, feeding, and daily tasks. Existing tools were either too complex or not built for real farm routines. The goal was to design something intuitive, focused, and easy to adopt in the field.

Market Research & Competitive Analysis

Market Research & Competitive Analysis

When looking at other tools on the market, Most felt clunky, hard to use, or not built for real farm needs. With CattleSense, the goal was to create a simpler, more intuitive experience that worked just as well in the field as it did at a desk.

Onboarding

Onboarding

Each user’s journey starts with a path built just for them. Farmers, workers, and consultants see only what’s relevant, from setting goals to defining roles. This keeps onboarding quick, focused, and ready for real work from day one.

Flow

After refining the UI, I ensured the final design was

scalable, visually cohesive, and intuitive for both

experienced and non tech savvy users.

Individual Cattle Profile

Individual Cattle Profile

Designing the individual cattle profile was all about giving farmers a clear, calm space to focus on one animal at a time. After building the main dashboard,
I created this page to bring together everything they need, health updates, breeding records, alerts, and movement - all in one place.

Mobile App

Mobile App

Most farmers spend their time in the field, not at a desk. The mobile version of CattleSense was designed with that reality in mind. It brings the full experience to smaller screens, helping users stay informed and in control wherever they are.

I focused on making key actions quick and intuitive. Farmers can check alerts, update tasks, and track cattle with ease. The layout was simplified for faster decisions, and offline mode ensures nothing is lost when working without a connection.
