Helpdesk

The Project

2021 Senior Capstone Project, Winthrop University.

Our client, Red Ventures, complained that they were receiving far too many internal support tickets. I was responsible for wireframing, prototyping, and implementing the user interface for the project, and I was recognized by the department for outstanding excellence, service, and leadership afterwards.

The Design

Our solution was the Helpdesk, which featured both a knowledge base that would allow users to search for common issues, as well as an improved ticketing system for managing problems not covered by the knowledge base.

Early Prototype

After initial research, my team settled on creating a ticketing system, and I set about creating a wireframe prototype in Figma. Usability testing on the prototype uncovered a few issues that would be corrected in the next version.

The Mockup

Once usability testing was complete, I created a style guide based on the client's branding, and built a high-quality mockup that would be referenced while implementing the final version.
