🔒 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

Love this! Designing for trust over beauty is exactly what fintech needs. Every step clearly anticipates user fear and guides them safely through the flow.

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.

It's so pleasing to test play with your Figma prototype on the actual device it has been designed for 🔥 Still an early WIP, but already feels like an actual app.

Built Kredex — a modern P2P lending & borrowing fintech app focused on making lending simple, transparent, and seamless.

Users can lend, borrow, track loans in real time, view crypto market data (BTC, ETH, SOL), and deposit funds through a smooth interactive flow.

For design, I used Kraken and OKX as reference systems to understand how advanced financial UIs handle data density and clarity.

Using Mobbin, I studied dashboard layouts, market-style interfaces, and interaction patterns, then translated those into a clean P2P lending experience.

Really proud to share this one – a full custom Kajabi build for Coven, a digital community supporting women through divorce 🤍

The brand is warm, honest, and deeply human – so the design had to match that energy from the very first scroll. We started in Figma, went through a proper review and approval process with the client, then moved everything into Kajabi.

What we enjoyed most about this project was getting the tone right visually – it's a sensitive space and the site needed to feel safe and welcoming, not clinical or corporate. Really happy with how it came together.
