Urban Oasis
about
Centralizing complex hotel operations into one actionable dashboard.
Running a hotel shift should be straightforward. But with operational data scattered across multiple systems, just figuring out the hotel's status is exhausting. Managers waste time digging for information instead of solving problems.
Designed for the Urban Oasis hotel, the dashboard pulls real-time operations into a single, high-contrast interface. Critical tasks are prioritized upfront, so shift managers can focus on running the hotel instead of fighting the software.

design system
High-contrast visual language for rapid data scanning
The visual strategy uses a dark interface to differentiate from standard hospitality software and reduce eye strain.
A palette of vibrant greens and pinks ensures data points pop, reflecting the hotel’s character.
The typography balances clean legibility for alerts with a distinct style for secondary data, supported by a minimalist icon set.
