Journey

Designing Office Haven was an exciting opportunity to reimagine what a modern intranet could be. I focused on combining Axero’s core principles with engaging interactivity, ensuring a people-first experience that’s both functional and fun. From implementing 📅 live RSVP-enabled events to building a 🎮 gamified center and 😊 mood check-ins, each feature was crafted to promote productivity and culture. The result is a digital workspace that feels alive, intuitive, and truly collaborative.

🛠️ My process began with deep research into Axero’s core values and product philosophy, which helped guide every 🧩 design and interaction choice. I 🧾 wireframed the layout to prioritize ease of navigation and 🔍 information accessibility, then built the interface using clean, modular code. ✨
