Clara Vanessa

UI/UX and Product Designer with a few years of experience designing digital products from the first idea to developer-ready designs. Has worked across healthcare, education, human resources, and small business websites. Most recently the only designer on a school management system that's now live for an international college, and on a full HR platform covering payroll, leave, and staff performance.

Comfortable taking a messy process, like grading, payroll, or a clinic workflow, and turning it into something simple enough that people can use it without training. Works closely with developers all through the project, not just at the end.

UI/UX Designer at Digitty Solutions (2025-01 – 2026-01)

Sole designer on EMPLOA, an HR platform covering the day-to-day of running a workforce.

• Designed the payroll section, turning a multi-step calculation and approval process into something HR staff could get through without needing a walkthrough.
• Built the leave management flow, covering requests, approvals, and balance tracking, to replace what used to be tracked in spreadsheets.
• Designed the onboarding flow for new hires, covering documents, account setup, and orientation, step by step.
• Built the performance appraisal section, structuring review cycles and manager feedback so it stayed clear even with more than one reviewer involved.
• Designed a workforce analytics dashboard showing headcount, attendance, and payroll trends, focused on the few numbers HR leaders actually check day to day.
• Took EMPLOA from an early concept through to developer handoff on her own, including the main HR dashboard that ties payroll, leave, onboarding, and appraisals together.
• Designed landing pages and websites for a few other clients at the same time, focused on clean visuals that also helped each business get their point across.
• Kept a consistent process and file structure across all the projects running at once, and presented work directly to clients, adjusting based on feedback without losing time on other jobs.

Senior UI/UX Designer at Alsesi Technologies (2024-01 – 2025-01)

• Designed a diagnostic center platform end to end, covering patient appointment booking, scan scheduling, and a radiologist-facing system for reviewing scans and writing reports.
• Designed the booking flow so patients could pick a diagnostic center, choose the right scan or test, and book a slot without needing to call in.
• Built the radiologist side of the platform, covering case assignment, image review, and report writing, so radiologists could move through their caseload without switching between tools.
• Designed an admin dashboard for center staff to track bookings, scan turnaround times, and radiologist workload at a glance.
• Put together a shared design system (components, spacing, fonts) so the platform stayed consistent as new features got added.
• Reviewed finished work against the design regularly with the dev team and flagged spacing or layout issues before release.
• Made sure the platform worked well on both web and mobile, adjusting layouts for each instead of just shrinking the same design down.
• Noticed patients getting confused mid-booking about which scan they actually needed, so added a short guided step to help them pick the right one before continuing.
• Handed off design files with clear notes on spacing and interactions so developers didn't need to keep asking questions.

UI/UX Designer at Movictech (2024-01 – 2025-01)

Sole designer on Stanford Portal, a school management platform built for Stanford Learning Hub International College. It's live and in use.

• Designed three separate portals in one platform, for admins, teachers, and students, each with its own permissions and daily tasks.
• Built the teacher tools for planning lessons, writing lesson notes, and setting assignments, aiming to cut down the steps between writing something and getting it in front of students.
• Designed the CBT (computer-based test) flow, used by teachers to set up exams and by students to take them, including timing and question navigation.
• Designed the student side, covering course access, submitting assignments, and tracking project supervision, with mobile as a priority since a lot of students use their phones.
• Built the results and grading area so admins and teachers could scan through student results quickly.
• Designed the payments flow, a CMS for the school's website, an announcements section, and a real-time chat between students, teachers, and admins.
• Organized the Figma files by role and feature instead of by page, so developers could build chat, payments, or exams at the same time without waiting on each other.
• Handed off annotated files so developers had what they needed without a lot of back and forth.

Junior UI/UX Designer (Intern) at St. Patricks Firm (2024-01 – 2024-06)

• Helped senior designers with web and mobile designs for client projects, using Figma from wireframes through to final designs.
• Took part in wireframing, turning rough client briefs into layouts the team could review and build from.
• Built interactive prototypes for client meetings and internal reviews, showing how the main flows would work.
• Sat in on design critiques and usability reviews regularly, and picked up habits around file organization and components from more senior designers.
• Kept every design responsive so it worked properly on both desktop and mobile.
• Got consistent feedback from senior designers about attention to detail and reliability.
