📍 United States

CaseBlink is a seed-stage startup building an AI tool that helps US immigration law firms manage their cases. I was brought on as the solo designer to cover the full scope: brand identity, information architecture, wireframes, and a high-fidelity application UI, all within a three-month timeline and ready for a seed funding round.

THE CHALLENGE Immigration lawyers managing NIW cases work across a tangle of emails, PDFs, call notes, and spreadsheets. There was no structured system for organising candidate qualifications, tracking case status across a client list, or extracting the information a lawyer actually needs before filing. Existing tools like Docketwise and Clio are built for general legal practice, not the document-heavy, research-intensive workflow of immigration law.

THE APPROACH I started with two stakeholder interviews before any visual work began: the founder, who had personally navigated the US immigration process as an applicant, and the lawyer co-founder, who provided the practitioner's view of how a caseload is actually managed day-to-day. Those conversations shaped the logomark and colour direction without landing in the generic corporate-blue territory most legal tech defaults to and informed the user flows mapped before any screen design began. With a compressed timeline, I moved directly into mid-fidelity layouts focused on the dashboard hierarchy and core case research flow, then built a Figma component library before producing final hi-fi screens. The goal throughout was a product that felt credible to an attorney and modern enough to signal it wasn't another clunky legal tool. With the team hard work behind the scene, CaseBlink went on to raise $2.15M in 2025 from Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator and Tower Research Capital.
