Project Overview
Every Drop is an iOS app concept for Seattle Public Utilities. My team and I utilized cutting edge smart meter technology, providing citizens with an unprecedented level of personalized data on their water usage. I designed interactive features like fixture specific monitoring, instant leak detection and a streamlined on-boarding.
Challenge
How to best utilize and coney data collected from smart water meters to help proactive, Seattle homeowners to reduce usage even further. |
Solution
Connect citizens with real time information. Hourly reports allow for quick responses and personalized tips for reducing usage. |

Research
|
We found the citizens of King County to be environmentally active and eager for better information. They felt a strong responsibility for their family, community, and planet.
Plan
One of my chief design concerns was allowing for a quick set up. I designed a user flow, pictured below, to take the user to the Usage Overview screen as quickly as possible.

Results
The data Every Drop provides goes far beyond current SPU reports, providing clear visualization, in-depth reports, and fixture specific monitoring. While this project was a concept piece, prototype testers found Every Drop to be superior to their current SPU reports in both clarity and relevance of information.
You made utilities fun!
I didn’t think anyone could do that!
