Customizable SaaS solution with integrated project management for biomanufacturing facilities.
Vektor
I was the only product designer on Vektor, a project management platform for biomanufacturing facilities. I built its first design system and redesigned its most confusing module, time entry. It shipped to all 5 customers, and users made far fewer mistakes.

ResultShipped to all 5 customers. Rejected timesheets went down, and in user testing people made far fewer mistakes.
The problem
Vektor is used by teams delivering biomanufacturing facility projects: engineers logging their hours and project managers tracking validation deliverables (URS, FAT, DQ) and workload for regulated builds. Many were seasoned engineers and managers who found the inconsistent interface hard to learn, and training every new client one demo at a time didn’t scale.
What I did
- Owned research: audited the whole platform, studied competitors, wrote interview and testing scripts and ran usability tests
- Built and governed Vektor’s first design system in Figma (components, tokens, variables, docs, accessibility checks)
- Redesigned time entry, the deliverable matrix and the deliverable form, and designed a new workload report
- Worked with the lead engineer through launch, with weekly critiques for engineering, sales and leadership
The detailed story is shared privately
Vektor’s screens and internal details belong to DynamixE, so the full case study is behind a password. It covers:
- Why the platform was hard to learn, and who it was hard for
- The before and after of the most confusing module
- Research, design process and the redesigned screens
