Building Practical Dashboards for Finance, Legal, and Academic Use Cases
Dashboards are easy to make but hard to make useful.
I focus on dashboards that answer real questions, not just show charts.
Use Cases I Built
Finance (InvestWise)
- Portfolio performance
- Asset allocation
- Risk exposure
Legal (WeWin Legal Services)
- Deadlines
- Case load by attorney
- Document access logs
Academic / TA Work
- Attendance patterns
- Student performance visualization
Principles I Follow
- Remove clutter
- Highlight anomalies
- Use simple colors
- Make every visual answer a question
Dashboards should guide decisions — that’s the standard I design for.
