As the sole Product Designer, I led the redesign of Jobs4Blue's Agent Portal, transforming fragmented operational workflows into a centralized platform for managing high-volume job requests. Partnering with enterprise clients, operations leadership, and field agents, I streamlined complex processes, improved visibility across operational data, and enabled faster decision-making at scale.

Managing 200+ job requests per shift across disconnected systems
Managing 200+ job requests per shift across disconnected systems
Enterprise clients, operations teams, and field agents relied on disconnected tools and manual processes to coordinate job requests. As request volume increased, visibility decreased, creating delays, duplicate effort, and inefficient decision-making. The opportunity was to create a centralized operational platform that could scale with organizational demand.

The Problem
The Problem
Agents managed 200+ requests per shift across disconnected systems, making it difficult to prioritize work, maintain visibility, and coordinate effectively at scale.
Agents and administrators managed requests across disconnected systems, making it difficult to prioritize work, maintain visibility, and process large volumes of jobs efficiently.

Designing operational workflows requires understanding how people work in the real world
Direct conversations with agents uncovered friction points that data alone could not reveal.
Dense operational systems require clear hierarchy, prioritization, and scan-friendly patterns.
Small workflow inefficiencies become significant at scale and influence every design decision.
Early stakeholder and user feedback reduced rework and improved adoption of the final solution.
