Imagine you’re an HR manager under pressure to fill open roles fast—most of them for a labor force that needs to be on the ground yesterday. You log into a platform that lets you pick job boards, toss them into your cart, and publish your job listing across multiple sites at once. Efficient, right? That’s the marketplace I was tasked to redesign. I worked as the sole designer, with feedback from my manager, before presenting to stakeholders for approval. My mission: modernize the interface, smooth out the wrinkles, and create a system that felt adaptable and intuitive—without disrupting existing functionality that the users already depended on.
The Challenge
This wasn’t a “tear it all down and start over” situation. Instead, the challenge was more delicate: redesign the interface, standardize patterns for adaptability, and modernize the user experience—without changing the underlying process.
Stakeholders had already outlined their must-haves, so I inherited data and direction from them. The tricky part? I had to respect the existing workflow while introducing enough incremental improvements to make the platform feel fresh and easy to use.
The Process
This project was less about a single “big idea” and more about navigating collaboration, constraints, and fast iteration. Here’s how I approached it:
Divergent thinking first. I created multiple design approaches based on the project goals, knowing that stakeholders liked to see options.
Workshopping with stakeholders. During meetings, I presented variations side by side, and stakeholders often played “pick and choose,” selecting the bits they liked best. To avoid decision fatigue, I also set up A/B testing for some elements when there wasn’t a clear preference.
Adaptability on the fly. At one point, I scrapped a section of the interface and redesigned it from scratch after a major stakeholder request for the MVP launch. Instead of resisting, I treated it as a creative reset—reminding myself that sometimes the fastest way forward is sideways.
Structured but flexible research. I sketched a rough user journey to map navigation, then translated it into wireframes, and finally prototypes for stakeholder approval. This flow gave me structure, but left plenty of room for iteration.
Soft skills became my anchor here: communication, empathy, and adaptability. Whether it was navigating feedback or rethinking flows with users in mind, I made sure every decision reflected both business goals and real-world usability.
The Outcome
Stakeholders loved the redesign. The experience felt smoother, fresher, and more in line with what modern HR teams expect. While we didn’t gather formal user feedback post-launch, the response in presentations and reviews was enthusiastic, and the changes paved the way for stronger adoption.
Personally, I walked away with a powerful reminder: constraints don’t block creativity—they channel it. Designing on top of an existing system isn’t easy, but by putting myself in the user’s shoes, I was able to uncover small, impactful improvements that made the experience better without overhauling everything.
