πŸ’Ό Jobsyte – AI-Powered Job Search Platform

Designed a responsive web platform for JobSyte built to help job seekers manage applications, track progress, and leverage AI tools to stand out in a competitive market. The layout features an intuitive dashboard, smart tracking flows, and clean visual hierarchy across devices. From onboarding to optimization, every screen was crafted to reduce friction and boost confidence.

🧩 The Challenge

Jobsyte was born out of a simple but urgent need:
β€œJob seekers are overwhelmed. We want to give them clarity, control, and confidence.”
The client envisioned a platform that would help users manage job applications, track progress, and use AI tools to stand out β€” all in one place. But they needed a design that felt intuitive, motivating, and scalable.
My task was to design a full web app experience that combined dashboard clarity, AI-powered features, and responsive design β€” while keeping the emotional needs of job seekers front and center.

πŸ” Discovery & Strategy

We kicked off with user interviews and competitor audits. I spoke with recent graduates, mid-career professionals, and freelancers to understand their pain points:
β€œI lose track of where I’ve applied.”
β€œI don’t know how to improve my resume.”
β€œI wish I had a system that felt like a coach.”
From this, I defined four design pillars: Clarity, Progress, Empowerment, and Ease.
I also mapped out the user journey from onboarding to job offer, identifying key touchpoints where design could reduce friction and boost motivation.

🧠 Design Architecture

The platform was structured into modular, goal-driven sections:
1. Dashboard Overview

Visual progress bars and timeline indicators
Quick actions: β€œAdd Application,” β€œUpdate Status,” β€œView AI Suggestions”
2. Application Tracker
Table view with filters for company, role, status, and date
Color-coded status tags: Applied, Interviewing, Offer, Rejected
Inline editing for fast updates
Export option for offline tracking
3. AI Assistant Panel

Smart alerts: β€œYou haven’t followed up with X company in 5 days”
