Designing a Seamless SaaS Dashboard Experience

Building a SaaS dashboard that feels both powerful and lightweight is an art. We wanted to make Cloudinary Studio’s dashboard intuitive for developers — everything from user management to media analytics needed to be lightning-fast and beautifully simple.

Designing for Developers

We started with user empathy: every button, animation, and color tone was crafted to make a developer feel in control. The dashboard runs on Next.js with Clerk for authentication and Tailwind for a minimal, clean interface.

“Good design disappears when it works perfectly.”

With real-time stats, light/dark mode, and seamless navigation, our dashboard gives developers everything they need — no fluff, just performance.
