0-1 Design System From Concept to Implementation
Revamp the UX/UI, adding better functionality, guided interactions, hassle-free design hands-off maintaining the design system.
Overview
BuyerAssist’s Relationship Map was a critical feature for sales teams to visualize stakeholder dynamics. However, its previous iteration suffered from usability issues due to a lack of a structured design system, inefficient search functionality, and limited interaction affordances. My goal was to revamp the UX/UI, ensuring a seamless, intuitive, and visually cohesive experience.
Throughout the design process, I focused on creating an intuitive user interface and component that would enhance the overall user experience and encourage engagement with the app.
