The Project’s
Discovery Phase
Built a new visual system tailored to data-heavy content
We started by analyzing the existing platform to identify pain points in data presentation and user flow. Our team then restructured the information architecture, breaking down dense dashboards into digestible sections.
We prioritized intuitive navigation and context-aware layouts, ensuring users could access high-level insights or drill down into granular data seamlessly. This restructuring not only improved clarity but also accelerated decision-making processes, empowering users with faster access to critical metrics.
Developed a modern visual system supporting flexibility and scalability
To elevate the platform’s visual identity, we crafted a comprehensive design system that balanced professionalism with approachability. The system features a clean, modern aesthetic with a flexible grid, a refined color palette, and consistent typography that adapts effortlessly across various modules.
We designed components that work in both dark and light modes, ensuring readability and comfort regardless of user environment. This visual system supports complex data visualizations: charts, tables, and metrics, making them easier to interpret and interact with, fostering trust and confidence in data-driven decisions.
Customer experience design in the age of AI UX
Validated design decisions through real user testing
Understanding that trust and usability are paramount, we conducted extensive testing with actual users: digital marketing professionals and business owners. We observed how they interacted with the redesigned platform, focusing on ease of navigation, clarity of data, and overall confidence in executing tasks.
Based on insights gathered, we refined key elements: we enhanced visual cues for important statuses, added contextual tooltips for complex metrics, and simplified interactions around critical actions like campaign adjustments and report exports. This iterative validation ensured that the platform was truly user-centered and adoption-ready.
