Create a cohesive, intuitive UI for Heycollab’s web and mobile platforms to improve task management, communication, and team collaboration—while supporting the needs of a globally distributed user base. Contribute to early-stage product vision and marketing alignment to drive platform growth and user adoption.

Building a Modular Design System for Global Collaboration

At Heycollab, I designed UI design efforts during the platform’s formative years, helping shape a unified digital workspace that supports remote team collaboration. My responsibilities spanned across designing intuitive interfaces for both web and mobile, establishing a modular design system, and aligning visual design with user needs and business goals. In addition to core product design, I created marketing assets and social media visuals to support brand visibility, participated in global tech conferences (Lisbon, Hong Kong, Toronto) to showcase the product, and managed customer care quality assurance to ensure a seamless user experience. This multifaceted role allowed me to bridge design, strategy, and user support—strengthening Heycollab’s presence as a flexible tool for distributed teams.

The design approach focused on simplifying complex workflows into an intuitive, unified experience. By emphasizing clarity, modularity, and accessibility, we created a system that reduced friction, supported collaboration, and scaled with team needs.

Process

We followed a user-centered, iterative process to translate research insights into a unified and scalable collaboration platform.

The process began with surveys and interviews to uncover challenges around tool overload, fragmented workflows, and context switching. We synthesized these findings into clear themes, then moved into sketching, prototyping, and usability testing to validate solutions. Iteration with cross-functional partners shaped a modular system that streamlined tasks, chat, and file sharing—culminating in a cohesive platform designed to reduce friction and improve team productivity.

Approach

We grounded the Heycollab redesign in user research and agile iteration. I worked with product and engineering to turn insights into wireframes and prototypes, testing quickly in Figma. To ensure consistency, I built a modular design system spanning web and mobile, prioritizing accessibility and responsiveness for a global audience. I also partnered with marketing on brand visuals, supported QA for UI integrity, and created documentation connecting product and customer success.
