Digital trading for a seafaring nation

Clarksons is a leading global shipping broker, renowned for handling vast amounts of data and large-scale orders across the shipping industry. As one of the largest players in the market, they are focused on shaping the future of logistics with an innovative online portal system. This system is designed to streamline operations, making it possible to move anything—from large shipments to something as simple as teddy bears—from Germany to Australia quickly, efficiently, and with minimal hassle.

I was part of a small, dynamic design team at Clarksons, working on a diverse range of applications — from seemingly simple solutions to highly complex, intricate systems. These applications were all integral to the Clarksons suite, serving both internal teams and the public, and played a key role in streamlining operations and enhancing user experiences across the organisation.

During my time on this project, I had the opportunity to deepen my skills in software that I had only briefly explored before. At Clarksons, I extensively used Sketch and InVision to rapidly iterate on designs and create interactive prototypes for end-user testing. This hands-on experience helped me gain confidence in these tools, while also enhancing my ability to quickly bring concepts to life. Additionally, I leveraged symbols and plugins like Zeplin to streamline the design handover process, ensuring smooth collaboration with the development teams.
