Role: Product Designer • Tools: Figma, Illustrator
OLX is an internal web application for Ocean Air Systems, a global shipping network. Due to the nature of this product, I have limited screens shown. I will showcase one app screen and the Mudblazer based design system I created for them.
ABOUT OLX
OLX was a complex shipping app that had been worked on for 9 months without any UX Designer present. I leaned heavily on the Mud Blazor design system to help align a very disjointed application. There were many restrictions along the way with how data was pulled and I often had to adjust my UX designs due to unforeseen developer blocks. Ultimately I created many cleaned-up screens, and helped develop design patterns that we could re-use throughout the application.
DESIGN SYSEM
OLX was a very agile app. We leaned heavily on Mud Blazor, changing minor details to use OLX's colors and fonts. I recommend working in this middle fidelity for an app that is new and being produced quickly. Working through the big UX problems is a more worthy usage of time and since it's an internal app, practicality and features matter more in an application, while branding and creative web design is more valuable in a marketing website to funnel in new users.
We documented our design system in a coded page so that developers could see the components in use and how we wanted them to interact. We were able to set styles at a global level and see any changes we made cascade through our design system.
