Context
(My Role)
I joined Wildix as the first and only UX designer to establish the design foundation, re-build the information architecture, and organize the design of all 3 main products across all main platforms.
Over the next 3 years, I completely overhauled and redesigned the mobile, tablet, and web apps of our flagship product x-bees, a communication platform and its largest integration, Wizyconf, a meeting platform.
I brought 2 teams together, initiated a rebranding, conducted numerous user research sessions and interviews, and led an exercise where the design team switched roles with real users to gain insight into their challenges.
This work resulted in 9 products, 13 Figma projects, 162 design files, 6 major redesigns, a design system for the design systems, and countless amount of components.

Discovery & Research
(User research)
Based on my research I wrote 2 main personas. But this case study is about this person.
Meet Julia, 30 y.o. operations coordinator from Munich, Germany.
Julia works at a mid-sized logistics firm that recently adopted x-bees to replace a clunky email + call workflow.
She’s organized, pragmatic, and always juggling 10 tasks. Often she handles her tasks from her phone while commuting.
(Solution)
The interface has many issues, so we decided to build a new version of the app from scratch, based on findings and research results.
The information architecture was rebuilt from scratch, removing almost 1/2 of all features to simplify the app.
Chat became the central focus of the entire product line, replacing calls as the primary feature.
A new feature—an AI bot for onboarding new users—was introduced.
Calls and video conferences were seamlessly reintegrated as components within the chat, ensuring a more unified and intuitive user experience.
CRM integrations were incorporated as an integral part of the system.
Results
(Feature 1)
Chat as a central focus of the entire product line.
(Feature 2)
Calls are the most important additions to the chat.
(Feature 3)
Conference integration added on top of chats and regular SIP calls.
Supports up to 1000 participants across web, desktop OS, mobile, Android TV, and ChromeOS.
