Solution

To really understand the challenges business owners face, our product managers dove deep into their world. They spoke with the owners, watched how they worked, and looked at the data from the tools they used every day. From these insights, they painted a picture of the everyday obstacles these businesses encountered. As the UI designer on the team, I collaborated and used this information to make sure the tools we built were more than just visually appealing screens, they met real needs, making daily tasks simpler and more intuitive for the owners.

MAIN FOCUS

• Designing interfaces with clear visual hierarchies.

• Developing a scalable UI kit to maintain consistency across screens.

• Ensuring accessibility by adhering to basic usability principles, such as legibility and touch-friendly elements.

DASHBOARD

We spent sometime on this screen, refining the Radius dashboard was a hands on journey, guided by feedback from the very people who would use it every day. We crafted the today's summary to quickly show the status of tasks, easing daily workflow management. Summaries about their staff and finances keep essentials visible, allowing for swift, informed decisions. This approach ensured that each update made the dashboard more effective and easier to use, directly meeting the needs of business owners.

Learnings

Learnings

Learnings

  • As my first internship, working at Radius was a defining experience that helped me grow as a designer and navigate a professional environment for the first time.

  • Being the only designer initially felt overwhelming, but it taught me how to take ownership of my work and grow through challenges.

  • I learned how important it is to design for real users, in this case I realised the value of simplicity in design, especially for non-technical users

  • Collaborating directly with the product manager and developers helped me see how every small design decision impacts the product as a whole. Feedback, though sometimes tough to process, became my biggest teacher. I learned to stay open, iterate quickly, and balance creativity with practicality.

Above all, this experience made me realize how much I love creating designs that solve real problems and bring value to users. It was the start of my journey as a designer, and it set the foundation for everything I’ve built since. 😄
