Complete redesign of Upshot's NFT analytics platform — data visualization, portfolio tracking, and appraisal tools.

Overview

Upshot is an NFT analytics platform providing machine-learning-powered appraisals, collection analytics, and portfolio tracking.

I led the complete product redesign — rethinking information architecture, data visualization, and the core user experience for both casual collectors and professional traders.

Problem

The existing platform was data-rich but insight-poor.
Users couldn't find what they needed quickly.
Visualization patterns were inconsistent.
Mobile experience was an afterthought.

The core challenge: make complex analytics feel intuitive without dumbing down the data.

Information Architecture

Restructured the entire navigation around user intent:

Explore — discover collections, trending assets, market movements
Portfolio — track holdings, P&L, historical performance
Appraise — ML-powered valuation tools for individual NFTs

Each section has a clear entry point, progressive disclosure, and consistent data patterns.

Data Visualization

Built a visualization system from scratch:

• Price charts with volume overlay and trend indicators
• Collection scatter plots for rarity vs. price analysis
• Portfolio breakdown with allocation and performance views
• Appraisal confidence intervals shown visually

Every chart answers a specific question. No decorative data.

Design System

Component library built for data-dense interfaces:

Dark mode primary — reduces eye strain during extended analysis sessions.
Monospace numerals for tabular data alignment.
Color coding: green/red for gains/losses, purple accents for Upshot brand.
Responsive tables that collapse intelligently on mobile.

Every component handles empty, loading, error, and populated states.
