Objective:
TICRA is a Copenhagen-based company and the leading provider of advanced reflector antenna modelling software. Their solutions are used by spacecraft operators, manufacturers, space agencies, defence organisations, and research institutions worldwide.
Challenge:
To modernize and enhance the usability of TICRA’s existing software application through a complete UI/UX redesign, improving both the visual appeal and user experience for technical professionals working with complex antenna modeling systems.
Solution:
TICRA’s software is highly specialized, containing numerous advanced features designed for engineers and scientists.
The main challenges included:
- Simplifying complex workflows without compromising technical functionality.
- Creating a clean, intuitive interface that meets the needs of expert users.
- Ensuring consistent communication between design and end-users to validate each design decision.
Due to the software’s scale and technical nature, every improvement required deep user understanding and continuous feedback from real professionals in the field.
Technologies:
- Figma — used for all design stages, from wireframes to high-fidelity mockups, enabling real-time collaboration and prototyping.
Results:
- A visually refreshed interface that reflects TICRA’s reputation for innovation and precision.
- A more intuitive user experience, reducing cognitive load and improving navigation efficiency.
- A foundation for future development, with a scalable and modern design system ready for implementation.
- Positive feedback from internal stakeholders, noting the balance between technical complexity and design simplicity.
Although still in the design phase, the project already demonstrates how thoughtful UX can transform a technically demanding product into an experience that empowers users — not overwhelms them.
