Tools
Responsibility and Collaboration

As the lead product designer, I executed designs, research, and drove the entire process. I coordinated cross-functional collaboration with the design team, engineering teams, and product managers to deliver and implement this scalable design across four core products. Additionally, I partnered with two design system front-end engineers to uphold implementation quality and refine storybook code library.

Introduction

Tables aren’t just UI components—they’re the backbone of data-driven decision-making in Workstream, an HR SaaS platform. Hiring managers, recruiters, and HR teams rely on them daily to track job applications, employee records, payroll, and compliance data.

Current Workflows
A redesigned table that encourages collaboration can streamline workflows and reduce time and costs.

Product squads build tables from scratch when new requirements come up
→Different table versions were built in fast paced
→This led to higher development and increased costs for support and EPD running

Deliver table components to unify over 30 versions of implementations, reducing development time by 40%.

I led the design process to deliver from the atomic to the component level, creating a scalable and responsive design pattern. This along with the codebase ensures adaptability across screens and full coverage of all use cases.

The component was being used across four product team already including payroll, mobile and web HRIS, time scheduling and will be more along with the team expanding more table usage for the customers!
