McKinsey & Company

The design team faced challenges in managing employee absences and overtime, leading to inefficient resource allocation. Manual processes caused delays, and errors, and lacked real-time visibility for team leads.

As a UI designer, I partnered with the Head of the IT department and the design head for the Indian design team to redefine user flows and simplify complex scheduling logic. Collaborated with one designer and two developers to redesign the platform for the India-based design team, ensuring scalability and usability.

Dynamic Scheduler
