3 Excel mistakes I see small business owners make every week 👇
Mixing raw data with calculations in the same sheet — your data sheet should only have data. Calculations go in a separate summary sheet.
Using merged cells everywhere — they break filters, pivot tables, and sorting. Use "Center Across Selection" instead.
No consistent date format — mixed formats break every report you build. Pick one and lock it. Small fixes. Big difference in your reporting accuracy.

Keystone - HR Management Platform
Employee list screens are the homework assignment of SaaS design. A table is a table is a table. Nobody's winning an award for this view and that's exactly why it matters.
The restraint here is the point. No colored tags, no status badges fighting for attention, no dashboard widgets crammed into the sidebar. Just the data, breathing in a dark container with enough row spacing that your eyes don't blur at record five.
That split between a bold brand identity and a restrained product UI is one of the hardest things to get right in B2B SaaS.

"A table is a table" is the harder argument to make internally than the design itself - most teams would've shipped colored status tags just to have something to show in a review.
AI Governance Dashboard | Control AI Usage. Ensure Compliance.
AI is becoming part of every organization, but managing how teams use AI tools is becoming a serious challenge.
I designed this AI Governance Dashboard to bring policy management, compliance monitoring, AI application usage, user activity, and governance analytics into one centralized platform.
The goal was to keep a complex enterprise product simple, clear, and actionable through:
• AI Policy Management
• Compliance Monitoring
• AI App Usage Analytics
• User & Access Management
• Governance Status
• Policy Activity
• Compliance Reporting
The interface uses a clean SaaS design system with clear hierarchy, data visualization, subtle gradients, and focused interactions.
Designed in Figma.
If you're building an AI SaaS, enterprise dashboard, or web application, feel free to connect or message me.
The hierarchy is doing the hard work here—policy health, app usage, and governance status read as one calm operational story instead of a wall of enterprise data. The focused sidebar and restrained gradients keep the dashboard actionable without making compliance feel heavy.
