Working on the MVP was one of the most rewarding experience, as I was able to collaborate with many individuals in different teams, and take different roles in a SaaS startup. I worked closely with the team to define, develop, and deliver interactive designs for various assignments. The task was to redesign the product dashboard to allow users to perform quick actions and decrease user clicks.

Litespace is a SaaS HR tech startup that provides modern workplace management tools for remote and hybrid companies. Hybrid working needs a lot of planning and can be complex. Litespace hopes to break those barriers and hope to bring teams together to maximize efficiency and engagement.

The previous dashboard only had user’s status and team status for today, and help and support. After speaking to the stakeholders: product lead with the owners, lead with me. We determined that there are more items to add to decrease user clicks. To determine what items we can include, I started to research other dashboards from other companies.

I created a moodboard to brainstorm and ideate how each section of the dashboard will look like. Using dribble and our competitive companies websites as inspiration. After meeting with the design team, we finalized a list of items to add along with some component inspirations.

Our main design priorities for our web product are be consistent, universal, and simple. We wanted to avoid adding columns than needed, keeping it a flat design (no shadow or 3d), a simple design that recycles our previous components to make it easier for the developers, and for it to be welcoming and accessible for our users.

Going through UI libraries and the component inspirations we have decided to use, I started to create multiple components and layouts through Figma. After multiple review meetings with the design team, the design is finalized and is organized for hand off and engineer team feedback.

We have received many feedback from various stakeholders and have decided to simplify the dashboard further due to time constraints of finishing it before the launch date. Since I was in the process of finishing another assignment of a higher priority, the design lead took over and made the changes for hand off to production.

The dashboard has the common components that the users will be needing throughout the day.

Throguhout my time at litespace, I learned toonsistently elevate the quality of my designs by soliciting feedback from peers and stakeholders through design reviews and presentations. It was a tremendous growth experience to present my designs at numerous reviews, practice guiding open conversations and sharing my point of view, and learn from my mentors when to pushback on stakeholder feedback. I learned how essential maintaining good communication is with my team, especially when asking clarifying questions to remove blockers and balance pressing deadlines.

Redesigned most of the website's pages such as products, solutions, blogs, and case study. Afterwards created the pages through Webflow, published these pages, and maintained the blog page & case study page through CMS.

Updated litespace's user flow and added the new features since MVP release 1. Also planned out the notifications that users will get in-app, email, and slack. Collaborated closely with the design team to create recommendations based on the notifications and user flow created.

Worked closely with the marketing team to publish blogs & create pages through Webflow CMS and fixed any reported bugs found on the website.
