About the project

CatchPulse, formerly known as SecureAPlus, is an endpoint security solution that provides robust malware protection. The company collaborated with an external UX agency for its relaunch, and I joined the project midway through.

My role

I contributed to the UI improvements for this project. As the designer responsible for the company’s overall visual identity, I provided the agency with comprehensive UI guidelines — including color schemes, fonts, and icon styles — along with sample screens.

CatchPulse (formerly SecureAPlus) — the relaunched endpoint protection interface.

Old design

The interface of SecureAPlus was designed a long time ago and had only undergone minor updates since then. A relaunch was planned, taking into account new features and issues with the previous design. Developers, PMs, and an external agency collaborated to design a new layout.

New design

The first draft was created by the UX agency, and I was brought in to review and refine this design. I focused on improving the UI rather than the functional aspects of UX. I created several sample designs and delivered them along with guidelines to the agency, which then used them to design dozens of screens.

Refining the UI

Considering the overall timeline, I aimed to improve the design without making significant changes. First, I focused on enhancing visibility by adjusting the font size and addressing color contrast, in line with WCAG standards. I then established a consistent icon style and applied a new color scheme to align with the company’s overall brand guidelines.

Web portal

I also contributed to the design of the CatchPulse web portal, where users can manage their devices and settings. Here are some sample screens that I designed.
