At Crew Enterprises, I had the opportunity to design the entire product from the ground up. Stepping into this role, the stakes were undeniably high, and time was of the essence. I needed to move swiftly for the team to deliver the MVP on time.

The challenge was clear: design a product that would drive efficiency in managing leads, completing tasks, and streamlining communications—all with the ultimate goal of converting leads into tenants. This case study dives into the core workflows I created to meet this challenge head-on. My goal was to equip our internal teams with the tools to track and follow up with accuracy and speed, ultimately driving operational excellence for the company.

Managing leads just got a
whole lot easier.

The dashboard brings all essential information into one streamlined view, from lead tracking and statuses to property units and conversion rates.

Start by creating a lead from the leads page.

Simply click the "Add Lead" button and fill in the name, phone number, source, property and priority level for manual contacts.

Schedule tasks and log activities all in one place.

Streamline your workflow with an integrated view alongside detailed lead information in the side panel.

Compose and respond to text messages, either through the side panel or directly from the SMS page.

A brand new design system, built with scalability and consistency in mind

By blending the scalability of Google Material Design with Vuetify 3 guidelines, I created a design system that provides a unified visual identity. The result is a user-centric experience that remains consistent and intuitive at every stage of the lead management journey.

Redefining typography

With the clean lines and modern aesthetic of the Sans Serif typeface, hierarchy is communicated through differences in font weight, size, line height, and letter spacing.

The updated type scale organizes styles into five roles that are named to describe their purposes: Display, headline, title, label, and body.

Handpicking a color system

A refreshed color system, where each shade is picked for a purposeful palette. Drawing inspiration from Material Design to create an accessible color system that communicates Crew Enterprise's hierarchy, state, and brand.

Colors from the five tonal palettes are assigned to color roles. For example, primary roles are picked from the primary tonal palette, while surface roles are picked from the neutral tonal palette.

Revamping buttons

Each button in our system is meticulously crafted to guide user actions seamlessly. From the subtle changes in hover and pressed states to the clarity of disabled and active buttons, every variant is designed with intent.

Buttons are designed with various states—disabled, default, hover, pressed—and can include icons or be icon-free. These states are managed through components and variants to showcase the different button types.

Creating new building blocks

Built upon existing building blocks, these components empower users to accomplish various tasks effortlessly. Their reusable nature enabled the creation of modal and page components, significantly reducing the time and effort required to develop them from scratch.
