About
From day-to-day planning to long-term project tracking, TaskHero gives freelancers and small business owners the structure they need to stay focused and in control—without the clutter of overly complex tools.
The Challenge

easy-to-learn interface

for different teamspaces

User Flow:
I structured the platform around three core layers—Productivity, Business, and Collaboration—which guided the feature set and overall user flow. This approach helped organize the interface while supporting different user needs.
Making Task Management Clear and Customizable
When designing the wireframes, I focused on creating a clear and action-oriented layout that would support daily task management without overwhelming the user.
A homepage/dashboard with quick access to projects, upcoming deadlines, and team status
Smart filters and tags for sorting tasks by project, location, or role
Clear paths to create tasks, assign roles, track progress, and attach documents or comments"
