Project Overview

Operative’s existing User Management screen was cluttered and difficult for administrators to navigate.
Common tasks like adding or removing users, adjusting permissions, and reviewing activity logs required too many steps.

Our challenge was to simplify administration, reduce cognitive load, improve efficiency for enterprise users,
and introduce a modern, intuitive UI that scaled to enterprise needs.

Legacy Screen

The legacy design presented all information at once, creating friction and visual overload for administrators.

Administrators struggled to complete workflows efficiently on desktop and tablet.

Mid-Fidelity Wireframing

Early explorations focused on restructuring hierarchy, introducing clear groupings, and prioritizing
the most common admin tasks.

A standardized library of buttons, icons, tables, and interactive elements enables consistent visuals and future iterations.
Components were designed for responsive behavior and accessibility on desktop and tablet devices.

Final UI Mockups

In addition to conducting stakeholder interviews, we decided to deploy a double-diamond methodology

to make all internal team expectations were still accurate.

The final design balances hierarchy and visual clarity, simplifying workflows and making critical information immediately visible.
Dark-mode-friendly colors and touch-friendly elements support consistent usability across devices.

Outcome/Reflection

The redesigned User Management page reduced the average time to add a user by 35% and significantly improved administrator satisfaction. By introducing hierarchy, modern patterns, and a cohesive visual language, we created a foundation that now extends into other Operative workflows.
