Is my system working? Designing the screen that answers it, for Morningstar.

Morningstar's solar charge controllers have a small web interface built in, called Live View. It showed every reading at equal weight, and the electricians using it kept asking the same thing: is it working, and is it safe? I redesigned it around that question: a status card first, output in context, a 30-day view that makes changes stand out, and a three-step setup that puts the settings that can damage hardware first.

It runs on the controller itself, so the whole thing had to fit in about 5 MB with system fonts only. https://liveview.figma.site

In my INKFLESH identity work, the wordmark runs off the can's curve and gets partly hidden behind artwork on posters. That crop asks the rest of the identity to carry more recognition. The mark has a job when the name is only partly there.
