ISSUE

ISSUE

ISSUE

Although FundRich Securities offers a responsive website, its initial design was optimised for desktop use. As mobile usage grew, users faced issues such as inefficient transaction flows and information overload. In response to increasing user feedback, the client asked us to create a brand-new app tailored specifically for mobile users.

PROCESS IN SHORT

I began by aligning with stakeholders to identify mobile UX issues in the existing web experience and prevent them from carrying into the app. I then analyzed competing investment apps to uncover effective patterns and feature opportunities. Based on user research and shared personas, I translated insights into clear design goals and iterated on key flows such as fund comparison, transactions, and notifications. Finally, I worked closely with engineers and validated the solutions to ensure a consistent, intuitive, and trustworthy investment experience.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Don’t Be Afraid To Challenge The Status Quo

In this project, I collaborated with a strong third party UX consultancy that delivered the initial wireframes. Building on their work, I proposed improvements to further enhance the overall user experience. When disagreements arose, particularly around UX optimisation, I conducted lightweight user testing and presented evidence from both perspectives to support my recommendations. This approach demonstrated my ability to clearly articulate design issues and build consensus when opinions differed.

Helping Others Helps Me Grow Too

As the lead designer on this project, I supervised a junior designer, ensuring design quality met established standards and deadlines. This improved the team’s productivity while strengthening my leadership skills and broadening my perspective.
