TL;DR
The problem
IBM's Data Privacy Passports was a powerful cryptographic governance engine with no human-facing interface. Without one, it wasn't a product.
What I did
As the sole UX designer, I architected the entire interface from scratch: policy creation workflows, navigation patterns, and a data element builder within IBM's Carbon Design System.
The challenge
There was no UI to improve. I had to design the first mental model for concepts like trust zones, personas, cryptographic match expressions, and policy lifecycles.
The result
Data Privacy Passports transitioned from a backend capability to a usable enterprise product.
