I redesigned the admin dashboard to improve clarity, structure, and decision visibility.
The original version worked functionally, but it had a few friction points:
→ Heavy color blocks competing for attention
→ Metrics without context
→ Weak hierarchy
→ Large empty table space
→ Data displayed, but not interpreted
It showed numbers.
It didn’t guide decisions.
What I changed
1. Reduced visual noise
2. Improved hierarchy
3. Added contextual insights
4. Designed for operational flow
BEFORE & AFTER
Really thoughtful breakdown of the friction points — especially “metrics without context” and hierarchy.
That’s where many dashboards struggle.
The redesign feels much more decision-oriented rather than data-heavy 👌
Curious if you introduced any progressive disclosure or priority states for key metrics?
Thank you Abhiram, I appreciate that.
Yes I answer this question
“As a business owner, what do I need to see first when I open my dashboard?
Probably:
Am I making money?
How does today compare to yesterday?
Are orders increasing or dropping?
Is anything going wrong?
These questions and...
That hierarchy framing is strong — those are exactly the right first-order questions. Prioritizing revenue + directional change before deep breakdowns makes a big difference in decision speed.
Curious — did you experiment with any alert/threshold states or comparative deltas (vs...
Great Question.
Yes, I introduced comparative deltas (yearly and directional trends) to reinforce performance context. I kept alert/threshold states minimal for now to avoid noise, but that is something I am considering layering in once we validate usage patterns.
The goal was...
Love this 👏 You didn’t just clean up the visuals you transformed the dashboard into a decision-making tool. Reducing noise and adding context is exactly what operational UX should do.
Thank you Akinkunmi, I appreciate it.
Nice redesign kehinde
Thank you Arman!

Students Learning performance, engagement, and outcomes to be structured around real decision-makin and learning progression.
To ensure the structure supports how decisions are actually made.
For Velarius Consulting, I explored two dashboard directions.
Same data. Different hierarchy.
Testing how structure changes clarity, scanning speed, and action flow.
• The focus?
Clear grouping.
Stronger visual priority.
More intentional quick actions.
Reduced visual competition between sections.
Dashboards aren’t about showing everything.
They’re about guiding attention to what matters first.
• What I’m validating?
Which layout makes decisions feel faster and more confident at a glance.
Still early — but structure > styling.
PS: The color usage was part of the requirement.
Love this exploration. Same data rarely means same decisions — structure fundamentally shapes interpretation and behavior.
This Health Monitoring Dashboard presents complex medical and wellness data in a highly structured, visually layered interface. The hero section uses a bold radial progress visualization combined with biometric data (heart rate, meditation energy), instantly drawing attention to key performance metrics.
