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:
1οΈβ£ Amount Input β control before commitment
2οΈβ£ Rate & Fees β full transparency, zero surprises
3οΈβ£ Confirmation β designed for the moment of maximum fear
4οΈβ£ Processing β eliminating the silence
5οΈβ£ Success β the beginning of loyalty
6οΈβ£ Transaction History β 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.
Thatβs a strong brief. Designing for perceived safety in financial products is no small task. I like the focus on control before commitment β transparency around rates and fees is where trust really compounds.
Another project wrapped up! β¨ And this one was a little different for us.
For the first time, we designed and built an entire Kajabi website in Dutch. And here's the thing β nobody on our team speaks Dutch. π
Was it a little intimidating at first? Absolutely.
But we had an incredibly patient client who provided all the content we needed, and we focused on what we do best: design, development, and creating a great user experience.
The result? A beautiful website, a fully set-up course platform, and a client who's 100% happy with the outcome.
A little reminder from this project: Don't be afraid to take on something you've never done before.
Trust your skills, trust your experience, and sometimes just say yes to the challenge. You might surprise yourself.
