I’ve previously worked as a product designer at MoonPay, the largest crypto purchasing website with over 20+ million verified users, and led design for the first mobile payments fintech in Scandinavia, Settle.

The 1st Mobile Payments Platform in Scandinavia

Led the redesign of Settle's mobile payments app, merchant payments portal, website, and new brand guidelines. As the only designer among a team of 45 people, I was tasked with revamping the entire product stack and the majority of marketing materials.

Settle's mission was a clear one, allow everybody to pay and get paid instantly. During my time here, we experienced a significant increase in active users, rising from 60,000 to 110,000, marking a 83% growth.

Awards won by Settle, formerly known as mCash 🥇

Best Mobile Payments Platform of 2017 & 2018, voted by Capital Finance International

World's No.1 Crypto On-Ramp

Redesigned MoonPay’s widget, driving growth from 13M to 20M+ users across 160+ countries and expanding partnerships to 500+. Enhanced the widget’s functionality by introducing NFT Checkout and Wallet Creation flows, making Web3 more accessible to newcomers.

Eased the purchasing journey to 4 steps and prototyped branded UX demos presenting the new features to 50+ partners including Nike, Samsung, Ticketmaster and Red Bull, facilitating their web3 entry.

NFT Checkout + Don't Have a Wallet features unlocked real world value for world's largest brands

Designed personalised product UX demos for each partner, fully branded to their identity, showcasing how the NFT Checkout and Don't Have Wallet features could grow and expand their business. The prototypes illustrated real world integrations, such as Nike's NFT limited edition shoes redeemable in-store or Ticketmaster's VIP NFTs unlocking exclusive fan experiences.

These partner specific prototypes demonstrated the seamless flow and potential of linking digital assets to real world value, inspiring over 50 partnerships for MoonPay, including some of the world's biggest brands.

Leading Science Based Sports Nutrition Enterprise

Nutritik Performance, a leading science based sports nutrition enterprise in Romania, had ambitions to expand their operations, strengthen their brand presence, and broaden their product offerings.

They trusted me to oversee the design for their rebranding, website, mobile app, client platform, social media, digital products, eBooks, physical office, and partnership materials to facilitate their growth.

Group Societe Generale, France's 3rd Largest Bank

After 5 years of using their app for my business, I noticed no improvements in UI or functionality whatsoever, which were anyway subpar since 2019.

Therefore, I reached out, offering my services to enhance the app into something users would feel much more excited to sign up for and use for their business. This was more of a pro bono project, fully out of my passion and desire to not moan about the flaws and actually provide them with a ready made solution.

Completely redesigned UI + new features added

Brand new design system built from scratch

WalletConnect - World’s Most Used Tool for Connecting to Web3

During my collaboration with WalletConnect I had to design a solution for improving their Web3Modal by integrating a feature highly favoured by partners: multi-account functionality.

Recognising that many users maintain multiple wallets for 3000+ apps across 150+ chains, WalletConnect aimed to enable connections to all addresses simultaneously for users. The challenge laid in directly allowing the users to connect through all their wallets in one single experience.

Successful products are a team effort

Successful products are a team effort

A product is always built by the whole team, so in my designs, I consider not only the users but also how to make developers, engineers, and shareholders happy by ensuring easy implementation and meeting KPIs.

A product is always built by the whole team, so in my designs, I consider not only the users but also how to make developers, engineers, and shareholders happy by ensuring easy implementation and meeting KPIs.

Business Goals

I believe that great designs aren’t just about functionality and aesthetics, but also about meeting business goals. Understanding the shareholders' mission, goals, and KPIs is always something of great importance for me, as my designs are built around supporting and driving these objectives as well.

Prototyping

Prototyping is one of my favourite parts because it brings ideas to life and helps everyone visualise the product's functionality. It's crucial for identifying potential issues early, which saves a lot of time and headaches. It also allows realistic user testing for refinements, ensuring a smooth launch and a product that is built correctly.

Design Systems

My approach when creating design systems is to think about how developers and engineers will use them. The goal is to make their jobs easier by providing clear, consistent guidelines and components that are straightforward to implement. This approach not only speeds up development but also ensures our product can grow and adapt without losing its quality.
