DeFi Redesign: 800% Investor Interest + $300K Funding
My design work for Kylix Finance increased investor interest by 800%, and they have successfully closed a $300K funding round, gained access to Polkadot's accelerator program in New York, and won the first-place award for best startup idea and pitch deck presentation in KOLO Dubai 2025. They also received a free UX audit from Braille Studio, a renowned design consultancy.
Transformed DeFi startup into investor-ready platform securing accelerator & funding
Led complete redesign of Kylix Finance multi-chain DeFi platform, transforming concept into investor-ready opportunity. Built comprehensive design system, pitch deck, and media kit from scratch. Created unified dashboard with streamlined user flows and WCAG AA compliance. 800% increase in investor interest, secured $300K funding round, gained Polkadot Accelerator selection, won best pitch deck awards at KOLO Supports Dubai 2025. Design system reduced development time by 40% and design inconsistencies by 60%. Enhanced platform usability with 43% less transaction abandonment and 89% task completion rate.
Platform lacked user flows, navigation architecture, and design consistency. Tools were scattered across multiple screens with poor information hierarchy. No mobile optimization and accessibility issues in high-risk financial environment.
Built complete design system and user flows. Unified dashboard consolidating all DeFi tools. Reorganized navigation and information architecture. Added safety modals, real-time notifications, and liquidation alerts. Implemented responsive design with WCAG AA compliance and multi-wallet support.
