Virtual Table: from user flows to a documented feature

A virtual table lets app creators upload and manage larger sets of data for user profiles, allowing for greater customisation and personalisation of an app’s content and overall user experience.

During prototyping I identified usability issues, including the readability of preview information in form checkbox selections; evaluated how data operations aligned with heuristic guidelines; and supplemented the documentation that defines when to use a modal and when to use a toast notification.

I took part in the end-to-end design of the feature, from the first user-flow concepts to high-fidelity prototyping, and was the primary designer of the high-fidelity prototype.

Auditing the internal account page

The first task was a visual refinement and a detailed inspection of the account-management page. Through design audits and iterative adjustments, I made the UI consistent and visually clear.

I reviewed how other platforms’ account pages handle input hierarchy, and moved direct form inputs into modal dialogs, which resolved unclear requirements and the difficulty of making the inputs responsive.

Survey results, made readable

The previous survey page was hard to read: inadequate spacing and inconsistent image cropping. After a design review I adjusted the text spacing and standardised the image cropping, which improved readability on both mobile and desktop.

Sitting in on usability tests

I took part in several user-testing sessions, recording user errors and identifying scenarios that led to inefficient interactions or delays, then turned them into insights and recommendations for the next round of design.
