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.
