I structured the dashboard using low-fidelity wireframes focused on clear navigation and information prioritization. Without user research, I applied domain best practices to simulate real-world workflows. The process emphasized top-level summaries, minimal distractions, and intuitive user flows for rapid situational awareness. - Ideation and Wireframing Early wireframes defined a grid-based layout where users could instantly see active threats and overall system status. I mapped user flows based on what security teams need first: awareness, drill-down, and action. This structure enabled users to quickly scan and explore deeper as needed. - Visual Design and Hierarchy A dark UI theme with bold accent colors improved readability and alert visibility. I used strong typography, consistent spacing, and color-coded indicators to drive focus. Every element served a functional purpose, creating a clean but powerful aesthetic ideal for data-heavy cybersecurity environments. - Component-Based Design and Tokens To ensure scalability, I created a flexible component library in Figma, supported by design tokens for colors, typography, and spacing. This modular approach made future dashboard updates and expansions seamless, keeping the interface cohesive and development-friendly. - Iteration and Refinement Multiple Figma iteration cycles focused on refining visual clarity, interaction flows, and pixel-perfect alignment. Interactive prototypes simulated real user behavior, helping fine-tune navigation and identify usability improvements. Consistent self-review kept the design evolving toward simplicity and impact.
