RiskBand Aries Manager
An enterprise management system for RiskBand personal safety devices, enabling device assignment and permission control within a brand-aligned interface.
The RiskBand Aries Manager is a comprehensive software solution for monitoring and managing RiskBand devices across multiple organizations. The interface was developed to complement existing brand standards while prioritizing usability and clear visual communication.
Working within strict size constraints (16x16 pixels at 72ppi), I developed a systematic approach to create highly legible icons that could convey complex information. By precisely aligning elements to the pixel grid before rasterization, I achieved optimal pixel hinting for maximum clarity at small scales.

Formula
1. Color System While adhering to the established brand color system, I identified and resolved contrast issues in the original specification of light icons on dark backgrounds. This adjustment significantly improved interface readability while maintaining brand consistency.
2. Size Through collaboration with the engineering team, we optimized the navigation icons to 22x22 pixels, exceeding the standard 16x16 pixel default to improve usability while maintaining efficient screen space usage.
3. Unity A comprehensive icon system was developed with consistent shapes and curves across the entire set, ensuring visual harmony while maintaining distinct functionality for each element.
4. Sub-Icons The system was designed to support multiple states for various user roles, including administrator, standard user, and delegated user, while maintaining visual consistency across all variations.

Adaptation
As the product evolved from a watch-form factor to a smartphone-based solution, the icon system was adapted to optimize for the new hardware requirements while maintaining the established design principles and usability standards.
