2024 | NLI
In this case study I will share how we designed NLI's personal workspace adding functionality and helping researchers keep all their information organized. Our mission was to craft a unified platform where readers and researchers could effortlessly access all their activity details and seamlessly work on specific items.
Here I'll focus on a few specific changes we made. If you'd like to further discuss this project feel free to contact me.

Our Mission
Pain points
Hierarchy, navigation and statuses
We have made it easier for users to access their items, orders, searches, personal info, and rooms by bringing them all together in the profile and personal workspace. We have added a sub-navigation system that allows users to quickly switch between different areas of their profile, such as item orders, workspaces, rooms, details, and permissions. Each category now has a side menu that shows all relevant options. To provide users with real-time status updates on their orders and items, we have introduced status labels and indicators. For example, when the return date of an item is approaching, the indicator will turn yellow, and if the return date has passed, the indicator will turn red.
