The challenge

In the second week of November, our team was asked to design a responsive, user-controlled dashboard that leveraged the existing Merchant Services onboarding design system and components, with executive leadership expecting a live demo by mid-January.

The approach

Within two weeks we had interactive prototypes ready for initial user testing. We ran three rounds of user feedback before year-end, then partnered closely with Engineering to refine the experience and deliver a working prototype in time for the executive demonstration. Throughout, the dashboard let users personalize their own workspace while staying consistent with the broader onboarding experience.

Why it mattered

This project is one of the clearest examples of what Agile collaboration can do under pressure: a tight window, a cross-functional team, and a willingness to test early and often. It remains one of the most rewarding projects I've had the opportunity to lead.
