Complex products don't have to be complicated. As designers, we need to shape UX to maximize clarity and reduce confusion. This is especially critical when designing for legacy-ridden environments, B2B systems and complex domains.
In this workshop, we’ll cover practical design patterns and real-life examples for:
Multi-level navigation, drawers, menus
Infinite scroll,
badges, chips, tags
Live filtering, sorting, search, autocomplete
Complex data tables and data grids
Nested tables and filter groups,
Complex multi-page enterprise forms
Undo vs. confirm, cancel UX
Validation, toasts, error messages
Actionable dashboards and charts UX
Hidden vs. Disabled vs. Read-only
Legacy systems and third-party UX
Decision trees for UI components
