The Problem

Legacy interface hindering user productivity.

The original SMEDE platform was a classic enterprise "mess"—overwhelming data tables, inconsistent navigation, and high cognitive load. Legacy UI constraints led to fragmented user journeys, making simple tasks take twice as long as necessary. The business goal was clear: moderniSe the aesthetic while fundamentally simplifying how users interact with the system to reduce errors and training time.

The Approach

Standardizing through PrimeNG and UX Logic.

My approach centered on stripping away visual noise and establishing a rigorous hierarchy. I utilized the PrimeNG component library to standardize UI elements across the entire platform, ensuring every table, button, and input field followed the same logic. By mapping out existing user journeys, I was able to condense complex multi-step processes into single, intuitive views, significantly reducing the "click-depth" required for core tasks.

The Impact

From friction to flow.

The overhaul of the SMEDE platform did more than just modernise the interface—it fundamentally changed the speed of operations. By introducing a standardised component logic, we eliminated the friction between design and engineering, allowing for a more predictable and scalable development cycle. The result is a platform that no longer feels like a "legacy mess" but a high-performance tool that empowers users to focus on tasks rather than navigating the UI.

Key Wins:

Reduced Cognitive Load: Simplified complex multi-step workflows into intuitive, single-view processes.
Engineering Alignment: Established a seamless handoff between Figma design specs and the PrimeNG implementation.
Operational Efficiency: Drastically reduced the "click-depth" and time-on-task for core enterprise workflows.
