Faced with an overwhelming 10,000+ disorganized dashboards on SharePoint, Rivian struggled with inconsistent data and leadership's inability to efficiently access crucial analytics. To tackle this, I led the 4-month design and development of a new Business Intelligence portal. This project aimed to create a centralized platform for consistently designed dashboards, developed in partnership with a senior architect, a Rivian engineer, and Rivian stakeholders.

After learning about their existing process and gathering the requirements from stakeholders, I organized all the information into four main objectives we would need to tackle to build out our solution:
To organize 10,000+ dashboards of varying file types into one portal
To design for different users with varying levels of access
To create a seamless, consistent experience throughout the portal
To allow trackable and deeper engagement with the portal

Global Search
To equip users with the ability to always find what they were looking for, I implemented a global search into the nav bar, from which users could search any prompt.

User Access
There was a need to consider different user journeys depending on the user type (e.g., manager vs general user), as restrictions to confidential dashboards was an important requirement.
