Good UI isn’t just about looking better. It’s about making the next action obvious.
I redesigned this investment dashboard around one question:
What does the user need to know or do next?
Less clutter. Clearer hierarchy. Faster decisions.
That’s product design.

LUMO — AI Career Coach & Learning App 🤖✨
LUMO is an AI-powered career development app concept designed to make professional growth feel more personal, structured, and motivating.
The idea was to move away from the typical “serious career platform” look and create an experience that feels more like a supportive companion — with a friendly AI character guiding users through their next steps.
The product brings career planning and learning into one connected experience:
• personalized career recommendations based on the user’s profile;
• profile strength and progress tracking;
• curated courses and bite-sized lessons;
• personalized career roadmaps with clear milestones;
• skill building and opportunity discovery;
• a friendly AI coach that makes the experience feel more human.
Visually, we balanced a clean product interface with soft gradients, warm pink accents, and a playful 3D AI character to give LUMO its own personality without distracting from the product itself.
The result is a career platform that turns a complex question — “What should I do next?” — into a clear and approachable journey. 🚀
Would you trust an AI coach to help plan your next career move? 👀
The idea of making a career app feel more like a companion than a platform is pretty smart. The 3D character fits that direction really well too.
I've been sending a lot of outreach messages lately as part of my job search, and pretty quickly ran into the same wall every time.
Writing a good, personalized message was never the problem. The problem was everything before it: finding the right contact, pulling context on the role or company, checking if I'd already reached out, then logging it somewhere so I wouldn't lose track.
There was a lot of repetitive work standing between me and writing the message itself.
So I started building a small dashboard (React, Vite, deployed on Vercel) to handle the deterministic stuff. It looks up contacts, pulls the context I need, and tracks everything in Notion automatically. I pretty much just do the writing.
Still early and still just for me, but it's already saved a chunk of time I used to burn on busywork instead of actually reaching out to people.

Building your own dashboard to kill the repetitive lookup work instead of just grinding through it manually says a lot. Did you set out planning to build something, or did the busywork hit a point where vibe-coding a fix felt faster than doing the research by hand one more time?
The poll in my previous post divided the votes almost 50/50.
I will probably continue with the minimalist version of the design, but you can check the full case study of the cosmic-style design here:
That is such a great idea for an app! And I love the space-themed design!
