As the design lead on this project, I drove the project end-to-end, shaping product decisions and securing its priority as a P0 initiative. The new design drastically improved reporting efficiency, reducing the time required to create reports by up to 95% while handling 23 dimensional cuts, 30+ metrics, filtering, and scheduled deliveries.Identified and planned high-value opportunities for subsequent phases of report tooling, ensuring long-term scalability. Established a design foundation and framework for the larger reporting tool refactor.

Conversion reporting is critical for our largest clients, including station groups and agencies. This report helps them track how effectively their campaigns drive user conversions. However, user satisfaction was consistently low, with data showing poor CSAT scores and frequent feedback about inefficiencies. Instead of leveraging the dashboard, users were downloading raw data to manipulate it elsewhere

One of the company's major initiatives was to migrate all reporting-related functionalities to Looker, This initiative came with significant performance pressures. Through cross-functional workshops with product managers, engineers, and customer success teams, I presented design idea sketches, user research findings alongside revenue impact projections. My design-first approach successfully advocated for a Looker API integration with our own design system instead of the proposed iframe solution, I positioned this as enabling real-time data exploration and storytelling. This perspective shift drove the entire reporting product strategy.
The redesign delivered transformational results across every metric. Customer satisfaction jumped from 2 to 5 out of 5, while report generation time dropped from 5-20 minutes to under one minute. Within two months, 50% of users migrated completely to the new dashboard, with our largest clients providing testimonials that became central to sales pitches. The redesigned dashboard became cornerstone of Reporting team's 2025 business strategy, This design established a foundation of all the upcoming dashboards
