Value for client

Led UX on klimarisiko.kbn.com — a public web tool that helps municipalities explore, compare, and communicate local climate risk.

Built interactive maps and dashboards that translate climate indicators into views municipal staff can use in planning — without needing specialist training.
Designed comparison views so municipalities can benchmark local risk against neighbouring areas and national trends.
Delivered a responsive experience across desktop, tablet, and mobile — for use in meetings, planning work, and presentations.

From vague idea to a tool municipalities would actually use

Municipal planners need climate risk they can explain and act on — not raw expert datasets. KBN's brief was to turn that need into a public tool tied to their green loan program.

Context

Public-facing tool for Norwegian municipalities exploring climate risk and green loan opportunities

Pain points

Design response

The idea was too vague to design against

Ran workshops with KBN stakeholders to define a clear purpose, scope, and plan for what the tool needed to deliver.

Climate data is complex and easy to misread

Learned what municipal users actually want to see and how they interpret risk — then designed views around that, not raw expert data.

Information alone doesn't drive greener investment

Framed insights to connect local climate risk with the opportunity to start green projects and access KBN's green loan program.

Hard to know what facts motivate action

Iterated through user research and testing to find which data points and comparisons actually push municipalities toward greener decisions.
