Designing a website that opens job opportunities to people with disabilities

Social Point helps people with disabilities find employment and access the support they may need when entering the job market. The goal of the project was to create a new website that clearly presents the organization’s services and gives visitors an accessible place to explore job opportunities and related information.

I worked on the project as a UX/UI designer. I established the initial visual foundation of the website, defined the colors and key UI components, and designed most of its pages. My work also included creating supporting visuals with the help of AI and collaborating closely with a senior designer, project manager, and developer.

This was one of my first projects after joining a new team. In addition to designing the website itself, it became an opportunity to learn how to collaborate effectively across design, project management, and development.

The website structure and content were defined by the senior designer together with the client. My responsibility was to translate that foundation into a consistent visual interface and design the individual pages as parts of one coherent experience.

The project also had a tight timeline. We needed to establish the core UI, design most of the website, and respond to ongoing client comments and technical feedback within a limited amount of time.

The client provided a visual reference that defined the general direction they wanted to follow. Based on it, I created the color palette, core components, and visual style that were then applied across most pages of the website.

Because several people needed to work with the design during different stages of the project, structuring the Figma document became an important part of my role. I learned how to organize components, screens, and files so that the senior designer and developer could navigate the work efficiently and continue from it without unnecessary friction.

I stayed in close contact with the developer through in-person discussions, messages, and online calls. This gave me the opportunity to discuss feasibility, receive direct technical feedback, and refine details so the designs could be implemented realistically. The project helped me understand that good design is not only about the final screens, but also about how clearly the work is prepared for the rest of the team.

The result is a new Social Point website that presents its services and helps people with disabilities explore available job opportunities and forms of support.

For me, the project was an important step from working independently toward designing within a real multidisciplinary team. I gained practical experience in establishing a UI foundation, organizing a shared Figma file, collaborating with development, and delivering a large number of pages within a tight timeline.

Looking back, there are visual and systematic decisions I would approach differently today. That is also what makes the project a useful reflection of my professional progress and the experience I gained from one of my first assignments in a new team.
