Modern cultivation requires more than green thumbs—it needs systems that think ahead. While working at Interaktionswerk, I designed a smart irrigation feature for AROYA that adapts to changing plant needs—automating complexity and helping growers steer their crops with confidence, not guesswork.

As the executing UX/UI Designer, I was responsible for the feature’s concept, structure, and interaction design. I worked in close collaboration with the Product Owner and development team to turn deep cultivation logic into a tool that feels intuitive, visual, and actionable in the field.

The Challange

Growers were manually juggling irrigation across multiple rooms and plant stages—shifting strategies between dual-phase veg cycles and precise flowering schedules. It was time-sensitive, inconsistent, and error-prone. Our task: make it smart, flexible, and easy to control, without overwhelming the user.

The Process

I built on research and domain insights provided by cultivation experts to identify key user needs. From there, I mapped core flows and created early-stage prototypes—iterating quickly with the development team and Product Owner to test feasibility, sharpen decisions, and simplify interaction where it mattered most.

Design Solution

Design Solution

The feature enables growers to automate irrigation based on crop stage and room conditions. I designed an interface that makes system behavior legible at a glance—users can zoom into events, review performance, and respond to alerts without losing context. It's precise, visual, and built for real-world complexity.

Results

Now live in the AROYA platform, the feature helps cultivators reduce manual work, improve consistency, and make smarter, faster decisions. It’s a strong example of how thoughtful interface design—developed collaboratively within an interdisciplinary team—can turn technical depth into real-world value.
