My role was Founding Product Designer
Introduction
My initial collaboration with this startup focused on entering the alternative medicine space. However, as the company pivoted to cybersecurity, they began developing AI agents to automate the manual and time-consuming processes of SOC 2 compliance. After finding product-market fit, they re-engaged me to design a demo that the CTO could use to build a fully functional MVP, leveraging cutting-edge AI technology.
This case study focuses on the UI design process, detailing how I created an interface that aligns with both the technical requirements and the user needs of compliance professionals. We are actively engaging with potential clients to apply best UX practices, while remaining adaptable to design changes based on usability testing. Our ultimate goal is to deliver a product that not only utilizes the latest technology but also provides a seamless, intuitive user experience that customers will love.
Home Dashboard
I worked closely with stakeholders to ensure the product’s design not only maintained the simplicity and functionality of the initial dashboard but also scaled seamlessly to support additional features and complex user workflows.
This process involved iterative feedback and continuous refinement to create a product that met user needs while driving business objectives.

Approach
I drew inspiration from Mobbin, a platform that showcases UI designs from about 85% of the top products in the market. By analyzing these examples, I gained valuable insights into industry-proven UI patterns and best practices. This approach allowed me to leverage the extensive user research that these companies have already conducted, incorporating time-tested design principles into the project.
By integrating these insights, I established a solid design foundation that aligns with user expectations and usability standards. This methodology will guide the initial build, and once completed, usability tests with real clients will help refine the product further based on direct user feedback.
I chose this design for the Controls page because it's a structure commonly used in effective SOC 2 compliance dashboards, similar to Vanta’s dashboard. This layout prioritizes clarity and ease of navigation, ensuring users can quickly access key controls for SOC 2 audits. My goal is to create an intuitive design for users familiar with security and compliance standards, reducing cognitive load and minimizing the steps required to locate necessary information.
