01 / The problem to solve

Help a conversation become a decision someone can act on.

Yabbu helps teams make decisions and monitor progress without needing to meet face to face. The workspace has to connect discussion with the decisions, tasks and people that make it useful.

What I owned

I led the UX/UI restyling and new feature design, with customer journeys, usability evaluation, interaction design and prototyping documented in the career material.

The design tension

Evolve an existing workspace across desktop and mobile while preserving familiar navigation for returning users.

Inside the original workThe published case includes the earlier interface, the redesign, a delivery-process diagram, semantic UI states and mobile sequences.

Original before / after

A familiar workspace.
A more deliberate structure.

The original comparison keeps a familiar navigation rail while moving from a dense meeting list to more distinct cards, filters and navigation.

02 / From understanding to decisions

The why.
Then the interface.

A closer reading of the original work: the problem each choice addresses and the value it is intended to create.

01

Discussion needs an actionable structure

What the work shows

The original comparison moves from a dense meeting list to larger meeting cards, with more distinct filters and navigation.

The design response

Keep the navigation rail, and give each meeting a stronger visual identity. The wider product work connects sessions to tasks, decisions and participants.

Why it matters

Help someone understand why the session exists and what needs attention.

02

A state should mean the same thing everywhere

What the work shows

The style guide separates brand colors from success, warning and danger, and documents button states.

The design response

Use semantic color, type hierarchy and interaction states consistently across the workspace.

Why it matters

Help people read the interface and anticipate what an action will do.

03

The design has to survive delivery

What the work shows

The original process includes evaluation, approvals, design, staging, testing and post-implementation UX testing.

The design response

Connect the design work to review and implementation, with mobile flows that address a smaller screen.

Why it matters

Give the team a repeatable way to carry design intent into the product.

03 / Connecting the experience

A redesign you can trace.

Select a stage to explore its purpose.

The moment

Collect feedback and evaluate the direction.

The design intention

Include an approval point before detailed design.

A condensed redraw of the original delivery-process diagram. The published sequence includes approval points before design and before testing.

04 / The interface, up close

From the conversation
to what happens next.

The published redesign, reframed to show how information becomes a workspace.

01 / Original interface

Redesigned desktop product

The redesigned desktop brings meeting context, schedule, agenda items and discussions into distinct regions while preserving navigation through other meetings.

New interface design proposal · Sample states · Interactive local prototype

01

Keep the purpose explicit

One visible question gives the session a shared focus before the details.

02

Connect an outcome to its reason

A decision records both the chosen direction and the context behind it.

03

Give the next step an owner

The working proposal links a new decision to an assigned action and updates the session progress.

05 / The value of the work

What changed.
And what I’d test.

A complete interface restyling, new feature designs and a responsive system, with an original before/after comparison and documented delivery process.

For the person

Distinct places for the purpose, conversation, decisions and assigned work.

For the product

A clearer structure for the collaboration it already supports.

For delivery

Documented typography, semantic states, responsive grids and review steps.

A tradeoff worth keeping visible

A redesign can improve hierarchy while disrupting habits. Keeping the navigation rail gives returning users a familiar anchor while the content organization changes.

Proposed validation / Next iteration
  1. Ask a returning user to find the latest decision and its related task.
  2. Check whether an assignee can identify what they own and when it is due.
  3. Observe the same task on mobile, including longer titles and crowded participant lists.
Evidence & presentation notes +

The comparison shows a concrete change in interface structure. Reduced meeting time or increased adoption has not been measured in the available evidence.

These explanations and presentation layouts are newly prepared from the available original artifacts. The validation tasks are proposals, not research already completed.

The date shown is the publication year of the Behance presentation. Screens are original project artifacts; no quantified usability outcome is asserted.
