About the Project

About the Project
Revamp is a crucial step in upgrading our platform’s content, structure, format, navigation to significantly enhance user experience, performance and building a design system. As part of this process, my role is to ensure a smooth and seamless user experience throughout the platform.

Phase Improve the system with low effort and High impact
Goal: Reduce friction, improve usability, and increase operational efficiency without changing core architecture.
The phase that will stabilizes the system.

Phase 2: Revamp Entire Platform (Transformation Phase)

Phase includes architectural and product innovation.
Goal: Move from reactive operations to proactive, data-driven fleet intelligence.
The phase that will change the entire platform

The redesign wasn’t just about improving the interface. It was restructuring how the product worked in users’ minds, shifting it from scattered features to a unified ecosystem.

We established a scalable design system, defining reusable components, consistent interaction patterns, and a unified visual language. This improved usability for users and accelerated feature development for the product team.

The legacy platform created “dead ends” pages that stopped users from continuing their investigation. If an anomaly appeared in a report, users had to leave the page, navigate elsewhere, and reconstruct the same filters.

We redesigned the experience around contextual navigation, turning data points into interactive drill-downs. This connected previously isolated modules and enabled continuous investigative workflows, allowing users to move from insight to action without losing context.

We led a feature weightage exercise, evaluating each feature based on usage patterns and business value. Features with low relevance were deprioritized or hidden, which significantly reducing cognitive load.
Outcome: This streamlined the interface and significantly reduced cognitive load, helping users focus on the tools that mattered most.

  • Not every feature deserves equal visibility. Prioritizing features based on user needs and business value is essential to reduce cognitive load and create a focused product experience.


  • Feature bloat is not just a product problem, it’s a usability problem. Regularly evaluating features through usage data and user needs helps maintain a clean, scalable interface.


  • Design is not only about adding functionality but also about making deliberate decisions on what to hide or deprioritize. Strategic simplification can significantly improve usability.
