Overview
AltruData is a platform that uses trustworthy AI and confidential computing to create safe and reliable data for marketing analysis.






























Problem Space
In today’s AI-driven world, datasets are often shared, scraped, and reused — but the people who contribute the data usually don’t know:

Where their data goes?
Who is using it ?


At the same time, many small and medium businesses (SMBs) struggle to access data tools that are trustworthy, scalable, and mutually beneficial.




















Problem Statment









Design Process


01|Research & Market Insight

Collaborated with UCLA Trustworthy AI Lab and reviewed internal discovery interviews with digital marketers and AI researchers.

We identified key challenges:
  • Data silos block collaboration among SMBs
  • Complex tools discourage adoption
  • Lack of user trust in AI-driven data platforms

This helped shape our design goal
make data collaboration feel as easy as breathing, without compromising security or control.

02|Technical Foundation

Built on Data Clean House, a privacy-first data collaboration framework.
Developed by the lab team, the platform integrates three core technologies:

  • Differential Privacy: Enables safe data sharing without exposing sensitive content.
  • Confidential Computing: Creates secure, hardware-based environments for compliant data processing.
  • Generative AI: Powers collaborative analytics and insight generation.









My role was to translate these technologies into clear, user-facing interfaces that make complex systems feel intuitive and trustworthy.








03|Brand Identity & Visual Foundation

I created the AltruData logo, visual system, and typography that reflect the platform’s core values: trust, intelligence, and accessibility.

Building an Intuitive Intelligence Flow


Dashboard-Task Management Interface
A core component of the AltruData platform is the task management system that allows marketing teams to organize and track their data analysis projects.


Design Goals:
  • Reduce cognitive load through structured layout and icon cues
  • Combine table + card view for layered information access
  • Make task relationships and data permissions fully visible
























Hi-fi Result-Task Management




Dataset & Task Create Interface
This wireframe illustrates how users initiate new workflows—either by creating a New Dataset or a New Task—within a structured table environment.


Design Goals:
  • Provide a clear and simplified entry point to reduce user effort
  • Allow users to select and test multiple datasets simultaneously
  • Enable easy sharing of test results with teammates for better collaboration
