JetBlue BlueEye

From fragmented ops to a flight-centric platform

BlueEye unified JetBlue’s fragmented operational tools into one intelligent platform supporting 22,000 crew members across 1,000+ daily flights. As Experience Design Director, I led product strategy and UX architecture across a six-month engagement to turn broken workflows, manual data entry, and inconsistent information into a cohesive, flight-centric system.

The Challenge

Crewmembers: “We need some cover to do our job well.”

Gate, ground, and in-flight teams were juggling ten separate tools to run a single flight. Basic flight data was buried across disconnected systems, performance reporting relied on manual entry and memory, and crews regularly couldn’t answer simple customer questions about delays or connections. During boarding and IROPS, tools would lag or freeze at the worst possible moments.

The fragmentation was the foundation of JetBlue’s operational problem. But, it was a problem that could be solved with UX and Product Design.

What I led

From Shadowing to Solutioning

On-site shadowing at JFK surfaced how deeply the four crew roles depended on each other and how much of their coordination was running on instinct and workarounds rather than tooling.

The north star: design around the flight as the universal anchor so every crew member works from the same real-time picture, with role-specific context layered on top.

We redesigned the IA, automated EGOR data capture, reduced dependency on Sabre and FlightAware, and tailored the UX across AO, GO, MX, and in-flight roles.

When incomplete business requirements stalled the project mid-stream, I re-formed the core product team, ran structured discovery workshops, re-scoped the sprint plan, and restored momentum in two weeks. That process became the template for JetBlue’s wider product org going forward.


Outcomes & Legacy

One Platform, One Team

BlueEye didn’t just streamline operations — it gave crews time back. By aligning people, data, and purpose, JetBlue could fully live its promise: “You Above All Else.”
