Seeing Machines

The right view

As Design Lead for the Seeing Machines Guardian Live platform project, I led a cross-functional team to reimagine a critical safety monitoring system that now tracks over 8 billion kilometers of driving data and has prevented numerous accidents through early fatigue detection.

The Challenge

Seeing Machines faced a complex data visualization challenge: how to effectively monitor and present real-time safety data from over 8,000 trucks operating across
43 countries. The existing system struggled to:

  • Process and visualize massive amounts of real-time video and telemetric data

  • Present critical safety information in an instantly digestible format

  • Support multi-step workflows for fleet managers and safety officers

  • Scale across a growing international user base

Impact

Under my leadership, the team delivered:

A scalable platform now monitoring:

  • 8+ billion kilometers of driving data

  • 11+ million distraction events detected

  • 230,000 fatigue interventions in the past year

Improved Development Efficiency:

  • Reduced feature development time through reusable components

  • Streamlined design-to-development workflow

  • Established consistent coding and design standards

Enhanced User Experience:

  • Intuitive interface for complex data visualisation

  • Streamlined incident response workflows

  • Improved access management system

The success of the Guardian Live platform demonstrates how thoughtful product experience design can literally save lives while improving business efficiency. By focusing on user needs and maintaining a clear vision of our safety-first mission, we created a system that's not just functional, but transformative for the transportation industry.

Our work with Seeing Machines proves that when it comes to safety systems, good design isn't just about aesthetics – it's about creating interfaces that help humans make better decisions faster. The platform continues to evolve, but its foundation in user-centered design ensures it will keep saving lives for years to come.
