This project was about fixing a messy setup and design practice.
Executive Summary
Challenge
Multiple IC teams building isolated tools, creating steep learning curves and inconsistent user experiences across enterprise operations.
Solution
Unified design system and intuitive interface that eliminates manual dependency and scales across product categories.
Impact
60% reduction in onboarding time, cross-team adoption, and scalable design framework for future growth.
Collaboration Structure & My Role
The real problem - One stack, many GUIs
A few things jumped out right away
Design strategy — Aligning teams early
Usability test of HiFi wireframes
Users struggled with navigation and couldn’t complete key tasks.
Added more context and flow improvements — tasks were completed ~25% faster.
With clearer guidance and feedback, tasks were completed ~50% faster.
Design execution — Scaling beyond OneGUI
Small adjustments—like reworded states or more descriptive prompts—had a noticeable impact on user confidence and speed.
Handoff — Locking It In with Devs
Finalised for OneGUI V 1.0
UI specs covering edge cases and states.
Interaction guidelines for transitions and flows.
Design tokens (CSS) to keep the UI consistent and scalable.
System architecture overview
Outcomes — Making the system work for everyone
Technicians, R&D and even sales teams could get hands-on without flipping through manuals.
The dev teams could reuse the tokens, patterns, and flows — saving time and keeping things consistent.
Clear labels, inline validations, & feedback loops helped users move through tasks confidently, even with complex hardware interactions.
