Role: UX Design Deliverables: Sitemap and Low Fidelity Wireframes
Timeline: 2 weeks
The Problem
Squid IQ is a tablet-only SaaS application designed for hospitals to manage and track their medical device inventory. The core challenge was consolidating scattered inventory data into a single, centralized platform, enabling medical professionals to easily monitor and manage equipment all in one place.
My Process
Organized and facilitated a stakeholder brainstorming session to define navigational priorities and core user flows—quickly aligning the team on what mattered most before touching a design tool.
Built a detailed information architecture diagram mapping the full screen hierarchy, ensuring every feature had a logical home and every user path had a clear destination.
Designed low-fidelity wireframes for all primary screens in Sketch—login, list view, map view, asset detail, tickets, and utilization reporting—within the two-week window.
Optimized every layout for tablet interaction: touch-friendly targets, glanceable data displays, and minimal scrolling for users working in motion.
Information Architecture
To kick off the project, I organized and facilitated a collaborative brainstorming session with key stakeholders to gather input on the desired navigational structure and core user flows of the application. This session helped surface user needs, content priorities, and functional requirements. Using the insights gathered, I then created a detailed information architecture (IA) diagram to map out the hierarchy and relationships between screens, ensuring a logical and intuitive navigation experience moving forward in the design process.
Wireframes
I designed low-fidelity wireframes of the mobile application using Sketch, focusing on layout, functionality, and user flow to establish a clear foundation for the visual design.
Outcome
Delivered a complete navigation architecture and full low-fidelity wireframe set on time—giving the development team a clear blueprint to build from. The fast-turnaround process demonstrated that rigorous UX thinking and tight timelines are not mutually exclusive when the discovery work is done right.
