Project Overview

Paragon is a workflow automation platform that simplifies API integrations for developers. I partnered with the team as a Fractional Design Partner to help refine their Resources Dashboard — a key feature enabling users to connect APIs, databases, and services more intuitively.

My Role

Fractional Design Partner — led UX research, product strategy, and end-to-end redesign of the Resources Dashboard in collaboration with the PM and engineering team.

Process & Highlights

  • Conducted structured user interviews with developer users to uncover pain points in navigation and discoverability.

  • Simplified visual hierarchy and information density to reduce cognitive load.

  • Designed clear, contextual actions to guide users through integration setup flows.

  • Defined a scalable design system that aligns with Paragon’s core product and upcoming GA release.

  • Collaborated cross-functionally with engineering and leadership to align business goals with UX priorities.

Results

  • Improved user task completion rates and clarity in connecting new resources.

  • Delivered high-fidelity redesigns ahead of GA milestone.

  • Helped establish design patterns and component consistency across the Paragon platform.
