Project Overview

Compliance management is genuinely complicated, businesses need to track dozens of regulatory requirements across different government bodies, each with its own renewal cycle, documentation, and deadline. Nigo's vision was to put all of that in one place, with AI doing the heavy lifting on monitoring and reminders.

Challenge

As a new product for compliance management,

• Collaborating effectively with a fully remote team while working as a freelance designer
• Establishing a consistent design language from scratch without an existing design system
• Navigating a new domain with limited initial system and business knowledge

Approach

I worked closely with the founding team and dev leads to understand the product's core value proposition. Used tools like Figjam to provide a shared space for the remote team. Identify technical challenges, visual direction, and deliver a complete UI across the web and mobile platforms within a tight launch timeline.

Style & Design Language

Before committing to visual design, I worked with the Nigo team to define the UI components and design language that would carry across the entire product. This included confirming the colour system, typography scale, component patterns, and interaction model — decisions made early to avoid costly rework later.

The brief called for a product that felt professional and trustworthy without being bureaucratic. Compliance software traditionally looks like government software — dense, grey, and intimidating. Nigo needed to feel different: structured but approachable, data-rich but not overwhelming.

Landing Page

As a guest user, visitors can explore the full Nigo product, its features, use cases, and value proposition before signing up. The landing page needed to quickly communicate what Nigo does (a genuinely complex topic) and give prospects an easy path to book a demo.

Dashboard

Once logged in, users land on a dashboard designed for quick situational awareness. The most important information — upcoming renewals, appointments, and follow-ups — is surfaced immediately. Billing summaries and open requests sit alongside to give a complete operational picture in a single view.

Users can also switch to a classic list view for more granular detail, making the dashboard useful for both executives who want a quick read and operations staff who need to action specific items.

Add — Global Action Panel

The "Add" button is a persistent global action available throughout the product. A single tap surfaces a contextual panel that lets users create new entries — company, contact, ticket, or trademark — and routes them to the corresponding flow immediately. No hunting through menus, no navigating away from context.

Company Details

The company details view consolidates all information about a registered entity in a single screen, editable inline, with sections prioritised by what's most likely to need attention. The design reduces the context-switching that compliance managers typically experience when working across multiple tools or documents.

Tickets Board

The tickets view shows all open items organised by status — giving teams a clear picture of what's pending, in progress, and resolved. Users can create new tickets, assign them to team members or external professionals, and filter the list by priority or assignee.

A view toggle between card and list layout means each user can work in the format that suits their workflow — a small but deliberate choice that reduces friction for power users who live in this screen.

Filters & Mobile View

The filter panel was designed to be equally usable on mobile, a common scenario for compliance managers checking status between meetings. The filter UI is full-screen on mobile with large touch targets and clear apply/reset actions.
