Challenge & Process
The existing platform had grown organically alongside the product, resulting in an interface that was visually inconsistent and operationally inefficient. Navigation was flat and unintuitive, with no clear hierarchy between different levels of administration. Recurring tasks [managing companies, assigning users, configuring applications] required too many steps and too much cognitive effort.
There was no visual system holding things together. Each section felt like it belonged to a different product.

I started by mapping the existing flows and identifying the highest-friction areas: onboarding, assigning roles and monitoring platform health at a glance. From there, I moved into low-fidelity wireframes to validate the new navigation structure before committing to visual decisions.
The core structural change was introducing a two-level sidebar - a Control Bar for client-facing navigation and a Super Admin section for platform-level operations - giving administrators immediate orientation regardless of where they were in the system.
Once the architecture was validated, I designed the full UI system including both light and dark modes, a consistent component library, and data visualization patterns suited to the platform's density of information.
Solution & Outcome
The redesigned platform - introduced:
A structured two-level navigation system that clearly separates client management from platform administration;
An Overview dashboard with real-time KPIs, global portal distribution map, and license usage analytics;
Consistent list and table patterns across Companies, Users, Gates and Applications - all with filtering, status indicators, and inline actions;
A translation management module supporting multiple languages across all products;
Full dark/light mode support with a cohesive visual language throughout.

The redesign was received very positively.The restructured platform reduced the time required to complete recurring administrative tasks. What previously required navigating through multiple disconnected sections became accessible within a unified, predictable system.
