HALO
Hurricane Assessment, Logistics, & Operations

HALO is a geospatial decision-support platform designed to help governments and emergency operators plan, respond, and recover during large-scale natural disasters.

As Principal Product Designer at Urban SDK, I led the end-to-end design of HALO, from early concept and system architecture through production UI and design systems. The platform brings together real-time and historical data such as flooding, wind, power outages, road conditions, and critical infrastructure into a single operational map. This allows teams to assess risk, prioritize routes, allocate resources, and coordinate response efforts with speed and clarity.

My work focused on translating complex, high-stakes data into clear, usable workflows. This included mission planning, route optimization, layered map visualization, alerts, and post-event analysis tools. I partnered closely with product, engineering, and data science teams to define interaction models, visual hierarchies, and design patterns that remain legible under pressure.

HALO is built to be flexible beyond hurricanes, supporting broader disaster response scenarios while maintaining a calm, dependable interface for moments when decisions matter most.
