Been deep in dashboard design mode lately. Here's a sidemenu concept I'm pretty happy with. 🎯
Everyone wants to design flashy charts. But the sidebar? That's where users actually live. It's home base. If it's cluttered, nothing else matters.
This one's for a B2B workspace. Here's the thinking:
Top = speed. Search and Favorites. Power users hate clicking around.
Middle = structure. Workspace + Labels. Organized but not rigid.
Bottom = people. Team avatars with status. Remote work is lonely—let me see who's online. And that "Invite" button? Small touch, big impact.
Upgrade badge lives next to the avatar. Visible but not annoying. You see it, but it's not screaming at you.
Still tweaking. Curious—what's a sidebar you actually enjoyed using? I'm taking notes. 👇
Our goal was to make pricing, inventory and ordering data feel simple and human for an AI-powered B2B commerce platform. We'd love to hear your thoughts!
Built a custom @Rive component for the About section of my agency site.
The lanyard and badge are fully interactive. You can grab them, throw them around, and spin the badge 360° to see both sides.
It doesn’t necessarily need to do all of that, but that’s kind of the point.
Small interactive moments like this can turn a pretty standard section of a website into something people actually want to play with, remember, and come back to.
