Data.gov.sg

Platform design, user research

Data.gov.sg hosts Singapore government data for open public use. The site was old and cluttered, search was not working well, and the majority of its data was outdated and lacking as it was difficult for admins to publish datasets.

Across the government, data was not being shared as well as it could be. If one agency needed data from another, it took up to 1 year to receive it due to tedious clearance forms, and a complex process that had to be restarted each time a correction was required.

I led a redesign to rebuild the entire Data.gov.sg for consumer users and admins.

A new modern look, that

  1. Allowed consumer users to easily search and preview data on-the-go, even on mobile devices.

  2. Made it easy for admins to seamlessly publish and manage data at greater levels of granularity, through automated validation.

It increased global monthly API calls by 124% and file downloads by 24%.
