Flat6labs | Dashboard & Web App Design Project

I was tasked by Flat6labs, one of the largest startup accelerator programs in the MENA region, to develop a digital platform for their onsite program. Our team has produced both low and high-fidelity mockups to illustrate the complete user experience. The platform is designed for three distinct personas, namely: Admin, Incubator, and Startup roles.

Summary

I was responsible for a comprehensive redesign of the user experience, which involved a complete overhaul of the design process, from low-fidelity wire-framing to high-fidelity pixel-perfect mockups. In order to achieve this, I conducted interviews with potential users, restructured the UX architecture, and collaborated closely with the development team during the implementation phase.

Personas

To optimize our time and develop an effective prototype, I employed the lean persona framework to identify three distinct user personas and document their high-level goals. Using this information, I was able to create a prototype and refine it further by conducting user testing. This allowed us to gain valuable insights and make informed design decisions.

Impact

Although the project was 12 months behind schedule due to UX decisions made by the previous team in charge, I was able to turn things around quickly upon joining. By implementing new UX strategies and working closely with the development team, I managed to deliver the project in less than 3 months. It has been launched in December 2022 and is currently being tested.

Learnings

Spend the required time on UX Low fidelity wire-framing

Upon joining the project, I immediately recognized that the UX had been mishandled by a team with limited experience in UX design.

To address this, I devoted a significant portion of my time to developing a new UX architecture. This allowed me to work more efficiently when creating high-fidelity mockups and the final design.

Communication with the dev team and PM is key!

In spite of the complexity and challenges involved, I successfully delivered the project within an incredibly tight timeframe. This was made possible, in large part, by the exceptional support I received from the engaged PM/Development team, who were always available for UX reviews.

Effective communication was also a key factor in the project's success, with all stakeholders working closely together to ensure that everything ran smoothly.
