Akisa Ashley Maria

Akisa is a UI/UX designer and QA specialist who turns product requirements into clear user journeys, consistent interfaces and testable releases.

On Nexus, she shapes user flows, prototypes, visual standards and usability checks. Her GitHub projects DATACLEANINGPROJECT and environmental-dashboard also show her interest in making complex information clear and useful.

On Nexus

What Ashley built

  • The flows

    Prototyped the core journeys joining an institution, finding your unit, asking a question, getting an answer before any of them were built.

  • A visual language

    Defined the type scale, colour and spacing rules that keep Nexus looking like one product, and handed them to the team as something they could build directly against.

  • Testing with real students

    Ran usability sessions on the prototype and the build, and turned what she saw into changes rather than a report nobody reads.

  • Quality before release

    Wrote the test cases each release is checked against and verified them across browsers and phones, so bugs got caught by the team and not by users.
