Designing for Data at Scale

Reflections

The redesign of SalaryGuide Online wasn't just about improving usability — it was about unlocking the power of complex compensation analytics for a wider audience of decision-makers.

Representativeness & Market Reach

The platform aggregates data from over 800 companies across 880+ cities, covering more than 2.26 million employees annually.
This ensures that users work with deeply representative data, reflecting the full spectrum of roles, industries, and regions in the Russian corporate market.

Data Credibility

Thanks to the scale and consistency of data sources, SalaryGuide provides trusted, high-accuracy insights that are actively used in strategic HR and compensation planning.
The interface needed to respect and reflect this analytical depth — with clarity, precision, and flexibility.

UX at Scale

Designing for this platform required thoughtful handling of data-dense screens, complex filter logic, and advanced reporting configurations, all while maintaining ease of use.
The result is a UI that supports powerful functionality without overwhelming the user.

Business Value

By making vast and technical datasets accessible through intuitive design, the product enhances productivity, reduces friction, and delivers clear value to HR teams, analysts, and executives.
The interface became not just a tool, but a bridge between data and action.

Client Feedback

"The redesign of SalaryGuide Online exceeded our expectations — both visually and functionally. The new interface allowed us to present complex analytical data in a way that is clear, elegant, and easy to work with, even for non-technical users."

"The designer demonstrated a deep understanding of our data-heavy workflows and translated that into a thoughtful, scalable UX. We especially appreciated the attention to detail, smooth collaboration, and the ability to transform abstract reporting logic into an intuitive experience."

"As a result, we’ve seen increased user engagement, reduced support requests, and overall higher satisfaction from our clients. The updated platform has become a key asset in how we deliver value to HR teams and business leaders."

Client Feedback — DESIGN / DEV SYNC

The designer provided remote consulting for a Moscow-based consulting firm that engaged separate service providers for design and development.

The project faced significant challenges, primarily on the development side — including inaccurate implementation, mismatches between technical constraints and design requirements, and issues with the design system.

The designer successfully mediated conflicts, supported the development team in finding effective solutions, and adjusted the design to align with both the design system and technical limitations. Her contributions were instrumental in resolving the issues and ensuring the successful completion of the project.
