HR & employee workflow platform

HR & employee workflow platform

Type:
Product Design
Role:
UI/UX Designer

Overview

Berry is a mobile-first B2B SaaS platform for managing employee workflows, Time Off, and HR operations across hybrid and remote teams. The product supports multi-role environments (Employees, Admins, Account Owners) and complex organizational structures, policies, and internal processes.

Challenge

Challenge

The core challenge wasn’t designing features. It was structuring a system where complex HR policies, roles, and workflows could scale without breaking usability.

Berry started as an early-stage HR product with an evolving structure and limited scalability across features and user roles. The platform needed to support multiple user types (Employees, Admins, Account Owners) while handling complex workflows such as Time Off Policies, approvals, and organizational structures.

As the product expanded, key challenges included:

  • Structuring scalable workflows across multiple roles and permissions

  • Designing systems that support complex policy logic and edge cases

  • Improving Information Architecture and navigation as features grew

  • Aligning mobile and web experiences into a consistent product

  • Enabling data visibility for HR processes through Reporting

Role

Role

Joined as a Junior UI/UX Designer under mentorship from 8y5 studio, and progressed into the sole Product Designer role. Owned end-to-end product design across mobile and web, collaborating with 3 Product Owners and engineering teams while independently driving product decisions.

Impact

Impact

Turned a feature-based product into a structured system that could scale across roles, policies, and workflows.

  • Transitioned the product from an early-stage feature set into a scalable, system-driven HR platform

  • Reduced ambiguity in Time-off and policy workflows, enabling users to complete requests without back-and-forth clarification

  • Enabled HR teams to access and act on time-off data without manual tracking or fragmented tools

  • Established consistent patterns across mobile and web, reducing cognitive load as the product scaled

  • Shifted the team toward a more iterative, validation-driven product approach, grounding decisions in real usage and feedback
