Designed an enterprise cloud platform from zero to production as a solo designer.
The challenge
A B2B platform for managing servers, virtual machines, storage, and networking across data centers in Switzerland, Germany, and Luxembourg. Enterprise clients, complex billing, role-based access. When I joined — no admin panel, no designs, no design system. I was the only designer, working with a product manager who provided domain knowledge.
What I designed
Resource pool monitoring with instant problem detection. The admin's main task is spotting trouble fast. I designed a color-coded system: green numbers mean resources are fine, red means at capacity, yellow flags warn before things break. Each pool also shows a lifecycle timeline — created, unpaid, will be suspended, will be deleted — so admins see not just the current state but what happens next.
Configurators with inline validation. Virtual Data Center setup has many interdependent parameters — CPU, RAM, multiple storage volumes, networking. Instead of validating at the end and forcing users to backtrack, I placed warnings directly at the problem field: "storage is full, add more to avoid service disruption." Users fix issues in context, not after the fact.
Rack rental configurator. Location selection across three data centers (each with different available tiers), then rack size, depth, and dedicated power. Side-by-side comparison when renting multiple racks.
Billing system. Transaction history, expense breakdown by category, bonus tracking, bank transfer handling with document uploads.
Full UI kit with reusable components for developer handoff.
Results
Shipped: MVP with 50+ screens, full UI kit. 12 months from zero to production, solo designer.
