Summary

I designed key areas of Agilio’s e-learning app and created a design system to align the software company’s UX and UI across its many services while streamlining the design and development of future mobile apps.

What I delivered

  • A brand new mobile design system supporting UI consistency and accelerating future design work

  • Documentation to help engineers and designers use the design system

Outcomes

Positioned for growth

My work positioned Agilio for growth in the healthcare sector with a design system that enables it to design, develop and bring to market new mobile apps quicker.

Cross-selling opportunities

I developed a new design style that improves and unifies the UX and UI across Agilio’s apps, helping it to cross-sell additional products to existing software users.

THE CHALLENGE

Design Agilio’s premier app and create a versatile design system

Agilio is a healthcare software company offering products for HR, e-learning, risk and compliance, and asset management. After several acquisitions, they were managing multiple design systems that caused development delays and an inconsistent user experience.

The agency I work for had recently redesigned Agilio’s web experience and now I was tasked with designing their iOS and Android apps. iLearn, an e-learning web app, would serve as both the first mobile app and the foundation for a new design system to be used across future projects.

APP DESIGN

Focusing on five critical features

The iLearn web app provided a blueprint for the mobile app’s look and feel and what features needed to be included. I focused on five key iLearn features:

  • Dashboard

  • Course library

  • Course content page

  • User profile

  • Booking calendar

Final designs for the dashboard, course library and course content page

DESIGN SYSTEM DESIGN

Paving the way for future apps

For each feature, I designed components that formed the foundations of a design system.

This was expanded to include additional components Agilio anticipated needing, as well as text styles, a colour palette, and documentation that provided guidance on how to seamlessly integrate the system into future apps.

CLIENT FEEDBACK

“Not only a great looking app, but one that is intuitive.”

Aaron was core to getting Agilio’s design work off the ground, forming the basis of the design system and applying that to our mobile use cases. The work enabled us to have not only a great looking app, but one that is intuitive for end-users.
