Context
I worked on onebliq, a lightweight Azure cost management product, contributing across branding, landing experience, and core product design. My focus was shaping a clear, cohesive experience from onboarding to cost exploration.
Problem
Cloud cost data is inherently complex and fragmented. Existing tools rely heavily on tables, filters, and technical structures, making it difficult for users to quickly understand what drives costs or where changes occur. This creates high cognitive load and slows down decision-making.
Concept
I focused on translating complex cost structures into a visual, navigable system. Instead of dense tables, the product uses a hierarchical, expandable interface that mirrors how costs are organized in Azure, but presented at a higher level of abstraction. Users can move from overview to detail through progressive disclosure, identifying patterns, anomalies, and cost drivers without losing context. The experience prioritizes clarity, fast onboarding, and minimal interaction cost.
Outcome
The result is a more accessible way to explore cloud costs, reducing reliance on technical expertise and making cost structures easier to understand and navigate. It establishes a foundation for scalable cost analysis while keeping the experience lightweight and focused.
