🔒 Case study just dropped.
I redesigned WakalaPay a crypto-to-fiat conversion app serving Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa around one brief:
Make users feel safe enough to send real money.
Here's what I designed:
1️⃣ Amount Input — control before commitment
2️⃣ Rate & Fees — full transparency, zero surprises
3️⃣ Confirmation — designed for the moment of maximum fear
4️⃣ Processing — eliminating the silence
5️⃣ Success — the beginning of loyalty
6️⃣ Transaction History — AI powered retention tool
The big lesson: fintech users don't need beautiful design. They need design that makes them feel safe enough to act.
Beauty is a byproduct of solving real fear

That’s a strong brief. Designing for perceived safety in financial products is no small task. I like the focus on control before commitment — transparency around rates and fees is where trust really compounds.
Thank you so much
Glad it resonated — excited to see how you evolve it.

Designed a dashboard concept for tracking net worth across every asset type — stocks, crypto, property, pensions, funds, cash, and liabilities — all in one place.
Instead of the usual pie chart or bar graph, the centerpiece is a dial: a single, glanceable gauge showing where your wealth actually sits. Behind it, a quiet grid of every asset category fades in and out of visibility, reinforcing that everything's accounted for even when it's not the focus.
Dark UI, a single confident green accent, and a lot of negative space — built to make a genuinely overwhelming task (seeing your entire financial picture at once) feel calm instead of cluttered.
wow the animation feels super smooth, what is this animation for?
Some designers are obsessed with removing friction. Usually, they’re wrong.
When it comes to high stakes fintech "invisible" is a bug, not a feature.
We designed the Tithe onboarding with a mandatory slide to confirm. One second of friction to ensure a lifetime of trust.
Don't just make it fast but rather feel right.
The slide-to-confirm is a nice touch. For financial decisions, that extra moment of intention makes sense.
Working on the homepage for Still Blooming, a wedding and floral studio, I explored two different layout directions for the hero section. Same brand, same copy, just a different structure and visual rhythm.
Option 1 : Left Aligned. Text sits on the left with supporting content beside it, giving an editorial, asymmetrical feel.
Option 2 : Centered. Everything is stacked and centered, giving a clean, balanced, more classic hero layout.
Would love your honest UX/UI take which direction feels more elegant, functional, and true to a wedding/floral brand, and why?
