Project overview
Worknest’s product team came to us with a growing tool that had outpaced its interface. Teams were juggling five tabs to answer one question: what’s happening this week? We redesigned the core dashboard around a single, customizable workspace that surfaces priorities, deadlines, and team activity at a glance.
Project highlights
The new dashboard is built from a library of 24 drag-and-drop widgets, each designed to work at three sizes. A unified command bar lets users jump to any project, person, or file in two keystrokes, and a refreshed design system brought 140 inconsistent components down to 38.
Challenges
Power users wanted density; new users wanted simplicity. We solved this with progressive disclosure — clean default layouts that reveal deeper controls on demand — and validated every iteration through weekly usability sessions with 12 customer teams.
Project key points
- Customizable widget-based dashboard
- Two-keystroke command bar for global search
- Consolidated design system with 38 core components
- Accessible color contrast across light and dark themes
- Onboarding flow that cut setup time in half
Conclusion
Within two months of launch, weekly active usage rose 31% and support tickets about navigation dropped by nearly half. Worknest now uses the new system as the foundation for every feature they ship.
