UI Library

We chose shadcn as the foundation of the new design system, built on Tailwind CSS. From there, I created a custom component library tailored to BeyondWords' specific product needs.

Semantic Colours

A semantic colour system standardised how the product handled interactive states, text hierarchy, and backgrounds.

Data Dashboard

Dashboard views that surfaced key metrics for publishers — listening time, engagement rates, and audience growth — without overwhelming users with data. Built on shadcn's chart primitives, saving weeks of development time.

SaaS Design

Using the new UI library, I redesigned all core text-to-speech AI pages — the voice editor, article management, and publishing flows. Beyond the product surface, I also tackled the infrastructure screens: signup, password reset, two-factor authentication, account management, and onboarding. These unglamorous pages are where first impressions are formed and trust is built.

Homepage Concept

A concept for a new marketing homepage that extended the design system beyond the product — showing how the same visual language could unify the SaaS experience and the public-facing site.
