It went to the client as a Figma file and a working prototype, drawn from Mantine so the developers got components they already had. A network graph draws people, genes or bank accounts as points and the relationships between them as lines, and this one puts that analysis in a browser, as open source, for researchers who read data fluently and don’t write code. The client had built the engine, the interface didn’t exist yet, and I was the sole designer for three months. Analytics tools mostly lead with actions, which breaks the moment an analyst works with one group of people: making every influencer larger, darker and labelled meant opening four screens and stating the same criteria in each. So I moved objects above actions. A node, an edge or a group now holds its own colour, size, labels and filters, the way a shape in Figma carries its properties.
