I joined opencomp in 2021 as one of its earliest employees, I was tasked with creating a design system to create a seamless, easy-to-use, experience for the compensation intelligence software company.

the main objective was to develop a user-friendly system that could display compensation information in a simple and intuitive way.

The aim was to make it easy for users to understand key details about their compensation, such as salary, bonus, and benefits, and identify any information that required closer attention. The system was designed to optimize the user experience by presenting data in clear, visually appealing formats that emphasized important details while minimizing distracting information.

Built with off-the-shelf ui, I was tasked at auditing all the necessary components of the product and improve them. There were 3 key elements that needed work:

navigation

To streamline the information architecture of the app, we concluded that scenarios were the top-level elements, followed by the different tools, then the rest of the content is displayed based on those factors.

charts

Charts were easy to display. The challenge was the information density, color states, and translating the data that’s easy to read even for non-compensation experts.

employee lists

the challenge was to show enough information to discern each employee, coordinate the colors with the aggregate charts, as well as an intuitive interaction to view more details and make changes on the fly.

The newly redesigned market analysis page signifies the change in direction in terms of style, color themes, and information.

The layout was designed to provide a better user experience, making it easier for the users to find the information they were looking for. The new color theme of the page was more visually appealing and complementary to the content. The illustrations and graphs helped in the easy interpretation of data and made the page more engaging for the readers.

To comply with my non-disclosure agreement, I have omitted and obfuscated confidential information in this case study. All information in this case study is my own and does not necessarily reflect the views of this company.
