Making the WebPortal clearer, more user-friendly, and aligned with the brand

The Minds WebPortal was the main access point for internal users and clients to track platform data and operations, but it suffered from usability issues, visual inconsistency, and confusing flows.

My role: I worked as product and lead designer, leading everything from user research to defining the new interface and visual structure. The goal was to create a smooth, accessible journey that stayed true to the brand’s new identity.

🧠 Process and strategy

Process steps:
• Interviews with stakeholders and platform users

💬 Learnings

This project reinforced my belief that great products balance logical structure, visual clarity, and clear communication. The WebPortal redesign required continuous collaboration with the tech team and a relentless focus on the real user experience.
