Background 📚

TFO is an independent wealth management firm serving some of the wealthiest families, individuals and investors in the The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). They needed help managing the UX process and build new applications across their digital product line.

Objectives

Create a premium experience for women to learn about finance and invest
Make the application easy to use and understand
Emphasize privacy and security to reassure users

Design 🎨

The primary objective of the design was to make it as easy as possible for Zaha clients to learn about investing, invest with the platform and manage their portfolio seamlessly.
Zaha was designed as a separate product to focus on 3 key impacts - investment, learning and socializing, which targets amateur women investors while still providing value to seasoned investors.

Principles

Premium, luxurious appearance
Informational UI
Progressive revelation
Clear, digestible information

Process 🤝

The team consisted of two Product Designers working in tandem with an independent UX Researcher and the Zaha stakeholder team to gather requirements, review mockups and prototypes, and conduct usability tests with potential Zaha users.

Sketches and wireframes

Once we had the sitemap and user flow, we proceeded to the wireframe phase to flesh out the blueprint of the site’s structure, layout and functions, which gave us a clear idea of the UX design functions.

Results ✨

We created beautiful high-fidelity mockups that were ready for dev handoff based off of user research, user testing, and competitor research.
