01. THE CHALLENGES

  • Nova had no dedicated landing page, limiting its ability to communicate the product and attract new customers.

  • The platform lacked a cohesive brand identity, with no established colour palette, typography, or visual direction.

  • Outdated components created an inconsistent user experience, with poor spacing, sizing, and alignment throughout the platform.

  • Core product areas, including timesheets, clients, suppliers, and cost hours, lacked consistency across layouts and interactions.

  • The absence of a scalable design system made it difficult to maintain consistency and support future product growth.

  • Reusable UI patterns and documentation were needed to create a more efficient and consistent design and development workflow.

02. THE PROCESS

  • Conducted client workshops and industry research to understand Nova’s users, goals, and platform requirements.

  • Audited existing components to identify inconsistencies across spacing, sizing, alignment, and visual hierarchy.

  • Established a new visual direction by creating Nova’s branding, colour palette, typography, and design principles.

  • Designed a comprehensive component library in Figma, including tables, tabs, CTAs, headers, footers, form fields, selection controls, modals, and sign-in components.

  • Collaborated with developers to ensure designs were technically feasible and accurately implemented.

  • Created full example pages to demonstrate how components worked together across key platform areas, including timesheets, clients, suppliers, and cost tracking.

03. THE OUTCOMES

  • Delivered Nova’s first dedicated landing page and established a professional digital presence.

  • Transformed an outdated interface into a modern, consistent product experience.

  • Created a scalable design system to improve UI consistency across the platform.

  • Redesigned key workflows including timesheets for clients, suppliers, and cost management.

  • Unified the marketing site and platform through a cohesive visual identity.

  • Developed comprehensive style sheets documenting typography, colours, spacing, and component usage to support design consistency.
