StripesInc — Omnichannel Platform

Rethinking a chat-based customer support platform.

A concept redesign on top of Chatwoot, the open-source customer engagement tool. I explored how a more refined, scalable, brand-flexible UI could improve usability and white-label adoption in B2B.

Not a repaint — a rethink of the experience for teams handling high conversation volume across channels (WhatsApp, email, webchat, Instagram).

The focus was on creating a modern interface aligned with SaaS product standards, while also offering design system components adaptable to any brand.

The StripesInc inbox on desktop: the sidebar, the conversation list with the channel and last message of each, and the contact panel of Devon Miles, over a painted sky

Personalized, prioritized, productive

I reorganized the inbox into a clearer, more focused workspace: agents see what matters first, with priority and context on hand.

The conversation list with the Mine, Unassigned, and All tabs, the open chat with its activity log, and the contact panel
A conversation with the details panel collapsed: the chat takes the full width, with the reply box and the Send button
The reply box switched to a private note, in yellow, with the contact panel open on the right

Clean, actionable, conversation-first

The conversation view was redesigned to bring the message forward and cut noise, without losing the actions the team uses constantly.

The contacts page becomes a light CRM inside the platform — customer history and data where the conversation happens.

The Contacts page: the list of contacts with company, email, phone, and location, and the panel to change a contact's details

A flexible language for white-label

A design system built for multiple brand identities: one base, many faces, ready to deploy across clients. Padding, iconography, and component behavior stay consistent, so handoff is smoother and new modules scale.

Outcome

Scalable component library

A modular, white-label design system that cuts future design and dev costs.

Usability for high-volume teams

Flows that prioritize clarity, efficiency, and collaboration across inbox and conversations.

Visual hierarchy and accessibility

Contrast, spacing, and type improvements sharpen focus and readability across the platform.

Product thinking beyond visuals

Business-value ideas — CRM-lite, analytics-ready inbox — that expand the product's potential.
