Altus Thermal

The “Nest” of Water Heaters

Altus Thermal looks to bring smarts to your home water heater, allowing you to monitor and control how much hot water you have at your disposal and make your unit more efficient and cost effective.

Altus Thermal was a consultancy project where I developed the underlying UX for the company’s first version of their mobile app. To start I began with competitive research understanding where Altus could shine among the leaders in the home heating category. Next, I worked through low-fidelity wireframing to build the bones of which pieces of the app where most important and how/where to show them. Finally I layered on interaction and some light UI.

Additionally I built a starter design system for the company so that their future designers, current engineers, and product leaders could easily iterate and evolve the UI in the future.
