The project began with a deep-dive analysis of the existing application. I worked closely with product managers and developers to gather all functional requirements and to fully understand the technical constraints of the platform. This was crucial for ensuring my design proposals would be both effective and implementable.

The goal for this phase was to test how a modern, scalable design system would behave in a real-world dashboard environment. These low-fidelity sketches served as a blueprint for the new interface design, focusing on:

• Functional Scoping: Mapping out customizable widget systems to ensure scalability.

• Efficiency: Testing user processes and the menu to streamline the user journey.

• Component Logic: Defining how elements respond to different screen states before high-fidelity styling.

Based on the analysis, I developed a comprehensive UI strategy. The core goals were to move away from the dated, flat interface by establishing a modern design language that used depth, contrast, and a clear visual hierarchy. This strategy also included the plan to build a new, scalable design system from the ground up to solve the problem of inconsistent components.

With a clear strategy in place, I began the hands-on design work. I methodically deconstructed the old interface and redesigned it component by component—from cards and tables to headers and modals. Each element was rebuilt based on modern UX principles to be clean, intuitive, and part of a cohesive system.

To ensure a pixel-perfect implementation, I facilitated a thorough handover to the development team. This included providing detailed design specifications for every component and its various states (e.g., hover, active, disabled), along with ongoing collaboration to address any questions during the development cycle.

The original dashboard was a dense list of numbers. I transformed it into a modern, card-based layout on a light grey background that provides an at-a-glance overview of critical information. Key metrics for "Ongoing requests" and "Client Overview" are now visually prominent, allowing managers to quickly assess workloads and statuses.

Cards and tiles were redesigned to establish a clear information hierarchy. By using whitespace, modern typography, and subtle depth through shadows and hover states, the new components are scannable and digestible. Key KPIs are highlighted, and action links are clear, guiding the user forward.

The application header and main navigation menus were decluttered and reorganized. Navigation links, user-specific information (like notifications and profile), and page titles were given distinct, logical placements. This creates a consistent and predictable experience across the entire application.

Tables are a core part of the application. The redesign focused on making them easier to read and interact with by:

• Distinguishing Headers: Adding a light grey background to table headers to separate them from the data rows.

• Defining Row States: Creating clear visual styles for default, hover, and "changed" states to give users immediate feedback.

• Modernizing Pagination: Replacing the old pagination with larger, clearer controls that are easier to use.

• Consistent Status Badges: Implementing a single, consistent design for all status badges to be used across the application.
