Shipped Dashboard UX Design System Documentation UX Audit & Conversion Uplift

The dashboards in use had accumulated years of inconsistency — mismatched visual hierarchies, unclear primary actions, and navigation patterns that made it hard for users to extract meaning quickly. The audit mapped all active dashboards against a set of UX heuristics, flagging friction points and ranking them by impact on user flow and decision-making speed.

Redesigned templates introduced clearer information architecture: a consistent top-level summary, progressive disclosure for detailed data, and stronger visual signposting for the metrics that drove decisions. Interactive prototypes were used to test the revised flows with stakeholders before implementation, reducing back-and-forth at development handoff. The outcome was a set of reusable dashboard layouts and component patterns validated against real use cases.

Confluence Documentation System

Alongside the visual work, a documentation structure was built in Confluence covering the full design language for dashboards: typographic scale, colour system, grid definitions, iconography standards, and component usage guidelines. The goal was to make the system self-sustaining — any new dashboard built by any team should naturally align without needing a designer in the room.

Design System Evaluation & Consolidation

Three design systems were in concurrent use across teams — each with genuine strengths, but none with full coverage. The task was to evaluate all three against criteria including component breadth, token architecture, accessibility compliance, and maintainability, then select a foundation and enrich it with the best patterns from the other two.
