My work raised WCAG compliance to 95%, improved usability scores by 10 points, increased the main page NPS to 9/10, and reduced design-to-dev handoff time by 20%.
I contributed to the UX/UI design of an inclusive HR platform, focusing on accessibility, usability, and design system development.

Problems
During an internal audit, we discovered that many UI elements didn’t meet accessibility standards:
  • Low text and background contrast
  • Missing focus states for keyboard users
  • Small tap areas
  • Unclear content hierarchy
  • Inconsistent button and form components
  • These issues made the platform difficult to use for people with visual or motor impairments
Solutions
  • Accessibility audit
  • Design improvments
  • Updating the design system
Accessibility audit
Process
My work on “Est Delo” began with understanding how the existing platform performed for users with disabilities. Only after that I moved into a structured improvement process.
I reviewed all flows (sign-up, job search, employer dashboard) using Stark and Contrast Checker plugins. Each screen was tested against WCAG 2.1 AA standards. I documented problem areas and grouped them into three levels: contrast, structure, and interaction.
I reworked the color palette, typography, and components to ensure accessibility while keeping the brand style consistent.
  • Increased text contrast
  • Unified heading hierarchy (H1–H4)
  • Enlarged touch areas (min 44px height for icons, min 48px height for buttons)
  • Added visible focus and hover states
  • Simplified layout spacing for better readability

Design improvments
The stages of finalizing the header
While improving accessibility, I also reorganized the library:
  • Grouped components logically (buttons, inputs, cards, modals).
  • Added accessibility notes inside components (contrast, padding, text size).
  • Created "Accessible variants" for future scalability.
