Gathering Context To better understand the scope of the project, I explored competitors and researched evidence-based best practice to create a user friendly crypto wallet.

Designing I developed branding, a design system, user flows and components to create the Abacus app.

User Research I carefully considered user needs and feedback, we aimed to create a wallet that would simplify the complexities of the crypto industry and make it more accessible to newcomers.

Redesigns & Handoff Based on the user feedback I redesigned the app and added in new features which aimed to improve the experience on the wallet. I ensured I provided clear annotations and submitted bugs to developers ensuring a smooth handoff.

The user research process involved doing extensive competitive analysis & recruiting participants.

I spoke with 20 participants in a series of 60-minute one-on-one conversations. During the interview process, users were assigned specific tasks to complete using the wallet. I evaluated their task success based on three categories (Successful, Unsuccessful & Failed).
