Iterations
Student
Permissions
Students had limited visibility into their permission requests, making it difficult to understand their status and know when follow-up was required.
The current iteration creates a clearer request lifecycle, helping students quickly understand approval status, responsible authorities, and the next action required.
Projects
Project information was spread across different areas, making it difficult for students to understand overall progress, deadlines, and individual responsibilities.
The current iteration brings important project context together, helping students understand progress, track responsibilities, and stay aware of upcoming deadlines.
Admin
Student Details
The existing experience made student information harder to scan, slowing down how quickly admins could find and review students.
The iteration focused on making student information easier to scan and navigate, improving efficiency for everyday administrative tasks.
Complaints
The existing experience made it harder to understand which complaints needed attention, creating friction in everyday issue management.
The iteration focused on improving clarity around complaint handling, making it easier for admins to manage issues at a glance.

Learnings
This was my first major project, and one of the most meaningful learning experiences in my design journey. It gave me the opportunity to understand how a real application works beyond the screens — how people interact with it, how teams build it, and what it takes to make a product useful in everyday life.
As my understanding of design grew, I continued to iterate and explore newer versions of the product. These iterations were not developed, as we had graduated from college and the project had already moved into implementation with the support of the management.
It taught me that designing a product is not just about making it look good — it is about making it work for real people.
