Circonus Observability Product & Branding

Circonus is a monitoring and observability platform for data scientists, site reliability engineers, DevOps teams, and technical operations teams. I worked across product and marketing as a Senior Designer, helping modernize a dense data-visualization interface while extending the brand into a cohesive digital and go-to-market system.

The brief

The work sat at the intersection of product and marketing: improve the dashboard experience for technical users, build a stronger digital brand system, and create practical materials that helped buyers understand the platform.

Product: clearer observability workflows

Observability interfaces carry a lot of information. The dashboard redesign focused on making system health easier to scan, identify patterns in, and investigate without adding friction.
Key design considerations included:
Clearer hierarchy and scan paths for dense metrics views
Accessible color palettes that don't rely on color alone
Reusable dashboard components and disciplined interaction patterns
Interface clarity for SRE, DevOps, and analyst workflows

Digital brand: a system built for technical storytelling

I redesigned Circonus.com using WordPress and Bootstrap, creating a custom theme that could support product storytelling, technical content, and marketing campaigns. I also redesigned the blog in custom PHP, including related-reading patterns that helped visitors move through connected technical content.

Go-to-market collateral

Alongside the product and web work, I designed campaign and sales-support materials for lead generation, sales conversations, and conference presence. The system translated the brand into repeatable formats, including landing pages, email templates, banner ads, brochures, conference swag, and sales enablement materials.
