"Case Dashboard" high-fidelity UX wireframe showing how an individual case page would look.
Objectives
The client provided us with multiple examples from different industries to consider.

The client had never worked with a professional software company, so there was a learning curve on their end.
Actions Taken
To understand the client's needs and preferences comprehensively, I conducted a series of online video interviews with the client and their staff.
This approach allowed me to delve deeper into their organizational structure and work processes, enabling me to tailor my design recommendations to their specific requirements.
Through a highly collaborative and iterative process, we achieved optimal design outcomes that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing—and met business objectives.
