90-Day Onboarding System for a Relationship-Driven Team

A lot of onboarding breaks because it is improvised instead of designed. This project turned a vague “first 90 days” into a visible system: a blueprint that compares designed vs. improvised onboarding, a phase-based 90-day journey, and a simple set of metrics that show whether the system is working. The goal was to give leadership a way to see onboarding at a glance and catch risk before it turned into turnover.

Problem Onboarding depended heavily on individual managers. Some hires got a great experience; others got silence. There was no shared view of what should happen by when, no early-warning signals when something was off, and no way to quantify the cost of late or failed onboarding.

What I built

Company Onboarding System Blueprint: “designed vs. improvised” view that shows what changes with a real system

90-day onboarding journey broken into phases with owners, actions, and checkpoints

Early-warning detection timeline showing when risk flags should appear and how quickly they are resolved

Onboarding health metrics: pulse score, completion by phase, and estimated cost avoided when issues are caught early

My role I designed the onboarding system end to end: mapped the 90-day journey, defined which actions needed to be leadership-owned vs. manager-owned, designed how risk would be surfaced, and created a simple metrics view leadership could actually use.

Outcome The company moved from “every manager does something different” to a repeatable onboarding experience with clear expectations and visibility. Leadership could see where each new hire was in the journey, which actions were complete, and where any risk signals were appearing.

64% of my Claude Design limit. Gone. Before I designed a single screen. 😅 I never start a project without a design system in place - so naturally, the first thing I did was import the full shadcn/ui system straight from the official GitHub repo. Needed some tweaks, but at least I didn't build it from scratch. Still somehow burned through half my limit doing it. 🙃 Can't imagine using it on an actual project with this kind of consumption, but interesting nonetheless.

64% gone before the first screen feels like the most accurate summary of modern workflows.

Every designer has a moodboard. It lives somewhere else — another tab, another app. Never visible while you work.

So I built Peripheral: a curator that sits next to your Paper canvas. Reads what you're making. Surfaces references. Captions each one in 3 words.

@paper + Claude Code, via MCP.

I just built this using Claude Design, and it’s incredible what’s possible with AI.

I did run into one issue though: I hit the usage limit pretty quickly, and it doesn’t reset for another 7 days… definitely makes upgrading feel like the next step.

Overall, Claude Design is insanely good, looking forward to exploring it further and pushing how we integrate AI into our design workflows.
