This project focused on designing a mobile application that allows employees to easily apply for leave and submit claims, while enabling managers to review, approve, or reject requests in real time. The goal was to reduce manual paperwork and streamline HR operations by offering a digital-first, mobile-friendly solution for day-to-day HR tasks.

As the UI/UX designer, I was responsible for crafting the user flow, interface design, and overall experience of the app. I designed the full app using Adobe XD, starting from wireframes to high-fidelity mockups, ensuring the interface was both intuitive for employees and efficient for managers.
I also worked closely with developers to ensure the design was implemented accurately, providing guidance on spacing, typography, and mobile responsiveness. The UI followed a clean, minimalist theme to keep the app professional and user-friendly.
Leave Application: Employees can view their leave balance, select leave dates, add reasons, and submit requests.
Claims Submission: Users can upload receipts, enter claim details, and track claim status.
Manager Dashboard: Managers can view pending requests, approve or reject leave and claims, and leave feedback if necessary.
Notification System: Real-time push notifications for request updates, approvals, or rejections.
One of the challenges was creating an interface that catered to two distinct user roles — employees and managers — while keeping the app lightweight and easy to navigate. To solve this, I used conditional UI rendering based on user role and developed role-specific dashboards.
Another challenge was managing the flow of multi-step forms (like claims with attachments). I simplified these forms with clear field labeling, progress indicators, and visual feedback to ensure smooth user interaction.
