The foundation of the project
I kicked off by crafting a polished flow, defining information architecture, and generating wireframes.
Sketching the blueprint
After sorting out the architecture, I created a couple of layout options to determine what works best and later tested them with target users.
Following testing with the client and some users, I settled on the second version, aiming for a small-scale tool with essential features. Subsequently, I developed the remaining flows based on the specified requirements.
Visual design iterations
After sketching ideas, I played with different look and feels to find the perfect output.
Final visuals and interactions
After gathering input from stakeholders and a few users, I settled on a sleek, modern, dark-themed version of the dashboard.
