MetaVault is a next-generation NFT dashboard designed for creators, collectors, and investors seeking a refined, intelligent, and visually appealing experience for managing their digital collectibles.
In a market flooded with chaotic marketplaces and amateur tools, MetaVault offers a new approach: a secure, curated, and sleek interface for organizing and interacting with your NFTs.
The Challenge
NFT platforms tend to be visually noisy and often focus on transactions, not ownership experience. The challenge was to design:
• A clean, visually rich dashboard
• Smart filters and search tools for large collections
• Real-time asset tracking and portfolio overview
A smooth, dark theme built for both desktop and tablet views
• A modular design system ready for scale
My Role
I worked as the Lead Product Designer, responsible for:
• Creating the visual brand identity and logo
Designing the full UX/UI for desktop & tablet
Crafting a dynamic design system (color, typography, spacing, motion)
Building interactive prototypes and documentation for dev handoff
Tools: Figma, After Effects, Notion
Platform: NFT (B2C and Creator-facing)
Design Process
1. Discovery & Pain Point Mapping
Interviewed NFT collectors and creators to understand their frustrations with OpenSea, Rarible, and MetaMask dashboards.
2. User Persona Development
The Collector: wants asset performance stats and clean sorting
The Creator wants visibility, analytics, and mint tracking
The Explorer: wants a beautiful way to browse and discover
3. Wireframes & System Architecture
Built flows for viewing, filtering, buying, and showcasing NFTs in a custom vault environment.
Key Features Designed
• My Vault – sleek gallery with filters (type, creator, rarity, price)
Smart Portfolio – insights into value, rarity, market trends
Creator Dashboard – track mints, sales, royalties in real time
Dark Mode – elegant gradients, glassmorphism, and motion UI
Results & Impact
• +42% increase in collection engagement from test users
• 3x longer average time-on-page compared to typical NFT tools
• 95% of testers reported a stronger feeling of “ownership”
• Design system adapted for a marketplace spin-off product
Highlights
• Premium dark UI optimized for NFTs
• Adaptive dashboard for creators and collectors
• Emotion-driven interface backed by solid performance data
Motion-infused UI without overwhelming the experience
What I Learned
Designing for NFTs goes beyond visuals — it’s about emotional connection to ownership. Trust signals, visual storytelling, and elegant performance all mattered. Also, users wanted more than utility—they wanted a space that felt premium and personal.
