Overview

Elevate Sys is a multidisciplinary design project that combines UX/UI design, icon design, and 3D modeling to create a cohesive, modern, and visually engaging digital experience. The project focused on aligning usability with a strong visual identity, using both flat and dimensional elements to elevate the overall product feel.

Project Goal

The primary goal of Elevate Sys was to design an intuitive user experience supported by a consistent interface, expressive iconography, and carefully crafted 3D assets. The product needed to feel robust, scalable, and visually distinctive while remaining easy to use.

Role & Services

  • UX Design

  • UI Design

  • Icon Design

  • 3D Modeling

I led the design process across UX strategy, interface design, iconography, and 3D asset creation.

Challenges

  • Maintaining usability while introducing rich visual elements

  • Ensuring consistency between UI, icons, and 3D components

  • Balancing performance, clarity, and visual depth

Research & Discovery

The project began with research into user needs, product requirements, and visual benchmarks. This phase helped define core workflows and establish a visual direction that could support both functional clarity and expressive design.

UX Process

User flows and wireframes were developed to structure complex functionality into clear and manageable journeys. The focus was on reducing friction, guiding users naturally through tasks, and supporting efficient decision-making.

UI Design

The interface design emphasized clarity, hierarchy, and balance. A refined color palette, clear typography, and consistent spacing were used to create a professional and confident visual tone across the product.

Icon Design

A custom icon set was designed to support navigation and reinforce meaning throughout the interface. Icons followed a consistent grid, stroke system, and visual style to ensure clarity and cohesion at all sizes.

3D Modeling

3D elements were introduced to add depth and personality to the product. Assets were modeled with clean forms, optimized geometry, and subtle materials to enhance visual interest without overwhelming the user experience.

Final Outcome

The final result is a cohesive and scalable product experience where UX, UI, iconography, and 3D visuals work together seamlessly. Elevate Sys demonstrates how multiple design disciplines can be integrated to create a polished and engaging digital product.

Key Takeaways

  • Visual depth should always support usability

  • Consistency across disciplines strengthens product identity

  • Thoughtful integration of 3D can elevate, not distract

Elevate Sys showcases the power of combining UX/UI design, icon systems, and 3D modeling to build immersive yet user-centered digital experiences.
