Nokia Network Management Dashboard & Design System Transformation

Nokia | Specialist Interactive + UX Lead

Simplifying global network monitoring through unified dashboards and scalable design systems.

Redesigned complex network management dashboards while building a unified component and visual language system to enable consistent, scalable monitoring experiences across Nokia’s global telecommunications platforms.    As Nokia expanded into global telecom infrastructure, monitoring vast networks relied on multiple disconnected dashboards, creating inconsistent experiences and complex navigation. Technical teams struggled with tracking network health and responding efficiently, creating a need for unified, scalable dashboards and simplified data visualization across platforms.
