    Bringing Clarity to Complex Science

    CARNEVALE’s relationship with LECO began with the redesign of Cornerstone, the software used to operate and manage its analytical instruments. The challenge was unusual: bring a highly technical application into a contemporary design without disrupting the workflows that longtime users already understood.

  4. Client story

    CARNEVALE’s partnership with LECO began with Cornerstone, the software used to operate and manage its sophisticated analytical instruments. The challenge was to modernize a highly technical interface without disrupting the familiar workflows that experienced users relied on. Because the software would remain in use for more than a decade, the design also needed to stand the test of time. We created a design system that felt contemporary and approachable while preserving familiarity, with a visual and interaction language that could evolve alongside the technology.
