ROLE

UX, UI Designer

The State of Illinois sought a demo for a complex government vendor portal dashboard, aiming to create an initial design as part of a bid for the project. I worked closely with Roland iCard and Simply Works Agency to understand the requirements, followed by in-depth research and development of wireframes. The UI/UX design focused on creating a clean, user-friendly, and visually appealing interface that aligned with the state’s branding. Key challenges included addressing the diverse needs of government vendors and ensuring scalability for future enhancements. Through iterative feedback and usability testing, I crafted a polished demo that was well-received for its innovation and functionality, even though Simply iCard was not able to secure the project. The positive feedback affirmed the quality of my design approach.
