NovaTech UI/UX Redesign

Complete interface overhaul improving conversion by 27%

Project Overview

NovaTech, a fast-growing SaaS platform for IT service management, was struggling with low user engagement and high churn rates. Their existing interface had grown organically over 5 years without a cohesive design system, resulting in inconsistent patterns, confusing navigation, and poor mobile experience. They needed a complete UX overhaul to improve usability and better showcase their product's capabilities.
