The Problem

Casino operations generate massive amounts of real-time data - player activity, game performance, revenue streams, staff allocation, security events. But this data lived in disconnected legacy systems. Floor managers relied on gut instinct. Executives waited days for reports. Hosts had no way to track player relationships at scale.

The challenge: make complex data feel simple without losing depth.

What I Delivered

Information Architecture

Mapped the entire data model — player profiles, game performance metrics, staff capabilities, revenue attribution — into a coherent navigation structure that serves three distinct user roles. The key challenge was creating a unified system where executives, floor managers, and hosts could each access the data they need without being overwhelmed by what they don't.

Casino Dashboard

User Research & Personas

Developed detailed personas for each role through stakeholder interviews, mapping their daily workflows, pain points, and decision-making patterns. Each persona informed specific dashboard configurations and information hierarchy.

User Flows

Data-Dense Design System

Built a high-contrast component library optimized for legibility in low-light casino environments. Custom table components, chart patterns, and data card layouts designed to handle hundreds of data points without cognitive overload.

Design System

Interactive Prototypes

Fully clickable prototypes validating complex filtering logic, drill-down patterns, and role-switching with real stakeholders before any development began.

Key Design Decision

I designed the dashboard for low-light environments from the start — not as an afterthought dark mode toggle. Casino floors are dim by design. The high-contrast palette, luminous accent colors, and oversized data points were all intentional choices driven by the physical context where this product would be used.
