Context & Objective

The client had an existing stock simulation tool, developed internally at Delegate, that worked functionally but lacked visual appeal and user-friendly interaction. I was brought in to redesign the interface, focusing on small but high-impact changes that would improve both the user experience and visual presentation without requiring a full rebuild.

The objective was clear:

• Improve the overall design look and feel
• Identify “quick wins” to enhance usability
• Deliver a more modern and intuitive interface through light-touch redesign

My Role

• UX & UI Designer
• Conducted lightweight usability testing
• Created wireframes and mockups for suggested improvements
• Delivered new interface concepts for implementation by the internal team

User Research

Since the tool was already in use internally, I was able to:

• Conduct user testing sessions with current users of the simulation tool
• Observe how they interacted with the interface
• Collect qualitative feedback on pain points and what they found confusing or visually unappealing
• Combine this with heuristic evaluation to identify clear UX gaps

Personas & Journeys

The main users were:

• Internal analysts and consultants using the tool to simulate stock flows and outcomes
• Needed clear, readable visual feedback
• Wanted an interface that felt modern and professional, but stayed functional and simple

The user journey focused on:

Launching the simulation → configuring variables → interpreting results

Design Solution

All changes were designed to be lightweight and easily implementable by the dev team.

The new design concepts included:

• A fresh UI with improved color usage for clarity
• Better structure around form fields and simulation parameters
• Consistent button styling and call-to-action placement
• Mockups showing multiple layout variants to support developer flexibility
• Enhanced visual feedback once a simulation was complete

Outcome & Learnings

• Delivered refined UI mockups and structure suggestions to internal developers
• Users responded positively to the simplified flow and improved visuals
• Reinforced that small UX changes can lead to meaningful usability gains — even in niche internal tools

Design doesn’t always require a full rebuild — thoughtful improvements can go a long way.

Tools Used

• Figma – Wireframes, mockups, and visual design
• Miro – Feedback mapping and prioritization
• Notion – Design rationale documentation
