Voltage Drop Calculator
ROLE
Lead designer for the B2B e-commerce site’s suite of project calculators.
PURPOSE
Develop a responsive tool that helps landscape lighting professionals accurately calculate voltage drop in outdoor lighting systems - a crucial factor for both performance and compliance.
I blended UX strategy, technical research, and intuitive data visulization into one cohesive interface that can be accessed on desktop web, mobile web, and a mobile app.
I went far beyond the typical workflow of a designer by conducting in-depth research, collaborating with industry experts to understand the electrical engineering behind voltage drop specific to outdoor lighting.
For our developers and QA department, I created a detailed spreadsheet that calculated voltage drop for all gauges of wire simultaneously, providing crystal clear validation with color-coded conditional formatting.

Math & Calculations
Working with landscape lighting professionals and our lighting category specialists, I developed a spreadsheet that calculated voltage drop for all gauges of wire simultaneously. I created custom formulas that were relative to the low-voltage outdoor lighting products that SiteOne sells and I used color-coded conditional formatting to make sure that the data presented was crystal clear.
This was a crucial resource for our developers and QA department when this calculator was in development and testing.
