Discover & Stories

Guided data exploration and report editor for enterprise clients

Discover – Map view

Overview

Discover and Stories were companion modules within mTab platform, designed for enterprise clients.

Discover gives users a curated, interactive way to browse pre-built analytical views of their proprietary research data — no query-building required.

Stories lets users collect and arrange those views into multi-page presentations for sharing and reporting.

As Head of Design, I led the design of both modules and coordinated the team working across them.

Challenge

Not every user is an analyst. Many of the people who needed access to research data — brand managers, product planners, executives — didn't want to build cross-tabulations or design reports. They needed a way to explore standardised insights quickly, then assemble what they found into something they could present at a meeting or share with colleagues.

The challenge was designing two modules that worked seamlessly together: one for exploration, one for curation — both simple enough for non-technical users, yet powerful enough to handle complex, parameterised data across multiple markets, brands, and time periods.

Approach

For Discover, we redesigned a browsable catalogue experience with a clear navigation structure and parameter controls that let users pivot across countries, brands, and time periods without any analytical expertise.

For Stories, we designed a curation workflow where users could assemble slides into narrative sequences, add chapter pages with editable text for context, and share or export the result as a polished presentation.

The design team ensured both modules shared consistent interaction patterns — parameter controls, navigation, and visual language — so moving between exploring and curating felt like one continuous experience.

Outcome

Discover and Stories was the daily tools for our customers bridging the gap between raw data and stakeholder-ready deliverables.

Users could easy go from exploring a single data point to presenting a full competitive report without leaving the platform.

What’s next

Both Discover and Stories were dropped and all the user created content was migrated into Halo.
