PROBLEM

The project initially launched without any designers involved.

The project was initially launched without design involvement, which led the development team to seek design expertise later in the process, introducing setbacks in an already time-sensitive project with a limited budget.

MAIN CHALLENGES

What other challenges were we facing?

Challenges included inheriting an AI chatbot built without design input, navigating the complexity of AI, addressing diverse global user needs, and working with limited resources—just two designers and no researchers.

HOME

Redesigned the home screen to improve usability, visual clarity, and user engagement.

We refined the visual hierarchy to help users quickly scan and understand the tool’s capabilities with greater clarity and efficiency.

BEFORE

AFTER

REPORTING

Utilizing artificial intelligence to reimagine the everyday employee workflow.

This reporting flow hadn’t been built yet, giving us the opportunity to collaborate with the developer to explore how best to visually represent a tool designed to automatically generate reports for employees. We decided on a split-screen layout, allowing users to edit their report on the left while live-previewing changes on the right.

BEFORE

AFTER

DATASETS

Designing a flow that more than a techincal developer can understand.

Data sets can be complex, and the previous presentation style added to the confusion. We restructured the layout to make the different properties in the table easier to understand and navigate.

AFTER

PROCESS

We maintained regular touchpoints with the developer to stay aligned, address challenges early, and uncover opportunities to enhance the user experience. Throughout the design process, we shared updates frequently to proactively identify and resolve any design or development constraints.

RESULTS

Our involvement as designers helped keep the team on track to deliver the product on time, while also elevating the overall user experience.
