Just wrapped up a redesign of the FirstBank mobile app dashboard. The original was functional but felt a bit cluttered and dated, so I focused on making it cleaner, faster, and more premium while sticking to their navy + gold brand colors.
Brought the balance front and center, simplified the quick actions, added better hierarchy for recent transactions, and made sure it works well in both light and dark modes. Nothing crazy — just solid UX principles applied properly.
Still tweaking a few things, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. If you're into UI/UX or work in fintech, I'd love your honest thoughts. Before/after attached.
Lumen — UX/UI Design for a Premium Architecture Studio
Sometimes, the smallest details are what give a design its personality.
For Lumen, I found myself exploring how typography, architectural photography, colour, and layout could work together to tell a story before someone even starts reading.
I played with oversized text, warm brown tones, editorial layouts, and a mobile experience that carries the same visual character as the desktop design.
I especially enjoyed putting the mobile screens together. Seeing the different sections come to life on a smaller screen made the whole concept feel more complete.
It's always interesting to see how different creative decisions can change the way people experience a brand.
What's one design detail that can make you appreciate a website even before you've explored everything?
Clean and confident work! The green gradient with the mark feels very modern for fintech - trustworthy but not boring. The app screens look really polished. Curious how you landed on this mark, does it represent growth / movement?
Built this in Framer as a concept project. Goal was to make it feel run by ex-journalists. Choices: editorial serif (Libre Baskerville), a dark photo with one color accent, and copy that positions against blast-style PR.
Where I’m unsure: text legibility over the photo and whether the two CTAs compete. What would you change?
