Project Context
Functionality: With the expansion of our features and additional items on the platform,
the burger menu grew too large for small screens.
Redesigned the dashboard and menu, enhancing usability, accessibility, and brand cohesion.
Problem
Dashboard Structure: Needed reorganization for better item placement.
Menu Growth: Users with smaller screens couldn’t see all menu items, resorting to zooming out.
Crowded Menus: Required decluttering and reorganization.
Design Solution
Scrolling
Added scroll functionality and changed flyouts to submenus.
New Menu Item
Introduced “Mass Communication” to divide items under “Alerts” and align with the marketing message.
Design Solution
Communicated design through a high-fidelity prototype, justifying an additional click instead of hover fly-outs.
Collaborated closely with marketing and branding teams for alignment.
Worked with developers on upcoming UI updates.
Created design specifications and product requirements documents.
Secured leadership approval for the new design.
