Designing a complex Radio scheduling platform that stays usable under daily pressure
Aiir asked me to design their Scheduler platform from scratch. There was no existing UI and a lot of complexity to manage. The challenge was building something powerful enough for heavy daily use without it becoming intimidating or slow to work with.

Faster workflows, fewer errors, and a platform that holds up under daily use

These were the things getting in the way
Aiir is a powerful platform, but that power wasn’t always well organised. For people using it every day, it asked for more thinking than it needed to.
Too many features competed for attention.
Patterns changed from one area to another.
Teams had to remember too many exceptions.
The learning curve felt steeper than necessary.
Complex tools still need to feel usable at speed.
What happened when we untangled those issues?
By sorting out hierarchy and patterns, the platform became easier to learn and much easier to live with.
Layouts now guide attention more clearly.
Interaction patterns are consistent across the product.
Teams can learn it once and trust what they know.
The system feels steadier and more predictable day to day.
The results?
The Scheduler supports demanding work without wearing users down. Development is faster, the interface scales cleanly, and the platform has a foundation that won’t need constant rethinking.
