TL;DR

TL;DR

Designing a centralised dashboard to bring FailSafe's security tools together in one sleek, unified platform - think Adobe Suite, but for Web3 cybersecurity.

Light/dark modes, dev docs, consistent UX, and fully on-brand design.

Gave BD a solid demo asset, helped land new clients, improved cross-sell, and got internal teams aligned on how current (and future) products should look, feel, and function—plus the bonus of tighter collaboration and faster design/dev turnaround.

The Problem

The Problem

FailSafe had three powerful products — Interceptor, Guard, and Radar — each tackling different aspects of Web3 security.

But here’s the gap:

  • There was no unified way to present FailSafe’s offerings as part of a larger ecosystem.

  • Clients saw each product in isolation.

  • BD team struggled to cross-sell or explain the bigger picture.

  • Inconsistent design and branding for each product.

  • Scattered docs, SDKs, and client resources.

The Fix

The Fix

I proposed and led the design of a centralised dashboard — a single source of truth for everything FailSafe, which delivered:

  • A hub to showcase product, features, tools, and updates.

  • Consistent visual identity across all offerings.

  • One-click access to dev tools, docs, and product blogs.

  • Structured content for both business and technical audiences.

  • A scalable design system future teams can build from.

Design Approach

Design Approach

01 // Discovery & Research

I studied platforms like Adobe Creative Suite, Jira, and Salesforce to understand:

  • What makes multi-product dashboards intuitive.

  • How power users navigate complex ecosystems.

  • Where existing models fall short — how we could do better.


02 // Design & Build

Key moves:

  • Adopted shadcn/ui for its Tailwind CSS compatibility — plus Engineering was already familiar with it.

  • Developed an Overview and Tab system to ensure all products were always visible.

  • Created a simple side navigation, allowing users to explore multiple products without jumping between isolated pages.

  • Built dedicated product and developer pages tailored to the various client personas (business vs technical users).

  • Implemented quick-access links to documentation and product blogs to keep clients informed.

  • Enabled dark/light mode to cater to Web3.0 user preferences.

  • Created consistent UI components, font styles, and colour palette for brand cohesion.

  • Leveraged the use of Google Icons for UI familiarity and created custom illustrations for branding flair.

Rounding Off

Rounding Off

Often, when creating a product, we focus on its primary function. A dashboard? Sure, it’s meant to provide quick access, a clean overview, and streamline navigation. But sometimes, it can do more.

In FailSafe’s case, the dashboard became the narrative spine of the entire company. It told a unified story that each FailSafe product was a part of a powerful, interlinked ecosystem, and that FailSafe was committed to not just security but also user experience.

It gave BD a conversation starter. It gave clients clarity and confidence. It also gave internal teams a common direction, a shared vision, making future builds smoother and faster.

Key takeaways? Web3 clients desire seamless integration and clear, technical explanations. And yes — dark mode matters.
