My Role

Web UI Design for a BlackBerry Security Portal

Tools:

• Adobe XD / Figma
• Adobe Illustrator
• Adobe photoshop

Industry

Cyber Security Portal, primarily serving Government and Enterprise clients.

Challenges

I navigated numerous usability challenges in an environment where security is paramount and great focus and attention to detail are required. With a strong emphasis on simplifying complexity and designing a more intuitive navigation & user-friendly experience.

• Declutter the interface and information density without losing essential features.
• Create a visual hierarchy, better focus, and easy navigation that simplifies the dozens of menu items but keeps functionality and performance.
• Consistency in Branding & company’s values.
• Clear Error and Communication Messages.

Approach

While I was the lead UX UI Designer on the portal - I worked closely with a Developer and Product owner to optimize the creation of the Design System for best performance. My approach involved creating info architecture, wireframe and iconography.

• Implementing a minimalist design, balancing the use of colors with personalized iconiconography for each menu item so it is easily identifiable. Establishing a clear visual hierarchy to guide users naturally towards the most important elements and actions, while ensuring that all necessary information and functions are accessible.
• Effective Navigation - ensuring the left-hand navigation panel allows users to see the full content and actions and organizing the menu items in a way that is intuitive and user-friendly.
• Integrating BlackBerry’s brand values and color palette to resonate with the brand’s identity and ethos.
