IC Config & Control Dashboard

This project was about fixing a messy setup and design practice.

Collaboration Structure & My Role

The real problem - One stack, many GUIs

A few things jumped out right away

The manuals were messy, inconsistent or just outdated.

Error messages didn’t help much, and the system barely gave any feedback.

Overloaded screens that made even simple tasks overwhelming.

Design strategy — Aligning teams early

Usability test of HiFi wireframes

First draft

First draft

Users struggled with navigation and couldn’t complete key tasks.

Second draft

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

Onboarding time dropped by ~60%

Onboarding time dropped by ~60%

Technicians, R&D and even sales teams could get hands-on without flipping through manuals.

Evolved design system - Scalable and Flexible

The dev teams could reuse the tokens, patterns, and flows — saving time and keeping things consistent.

In-product guidance replaced guesswork

Clear labels, inline validations, & feedback loops helped users move through tasks confidently, even with complex hardware interactions.
