Ledger Swarm
A Global Settlement Network
Client
Challenge
The challenge was to create a design that could handle vast amounts of financial data, and complex workflows, and maintain regulatory compliance while ensuring ease of use for financial institutions. This required a deep understanding of the user's needs, the financial technology landscape, and close collaboration with the development team.
Goal
Data Visualization: A key component of the design was presenting vast amounts of financial data in a digestible way. I designed custom charts, tables, and dashboards that allow users to monitor transactions in real time, spot trends, and perform quick analyses. Interactive Prototypes: I created interactive prototypes in Figma to simulate user interactions and transitions between screens. These prototypes were used for usability testing with end-users and iterating on the designs based on their feedback. Design System Creation: I developed a comprehensive design system that includes typography, color schemes, components, and interaction patterns. This system ensured consistency across the platform and made it easier for developers to implement the design. Design Specification Guides: I created detailed design specification guides and annotations for every element, ensuring that developers had clear instructions on how to implement each design component. Developer Handoff and Collaboration: I took responsibility for guiding the development team on how to navigate and use Figma effectively. This included running workshops on design handoff, commenting on designs, and extracting CSS properties directly from the design files. Close Collaboration: Throughout the development process, I maintained close communication with the developer, ensuring that any questions were quickly addressed and that the implementation aligned with the design vision. Regular check-ins helped to catch potential issues early, and I provided feedback during the development sprints.
Result
The final design of LedgerSwarm provided a powerful yet intuitive platform that simplifies the management of multi-ledger transactions. Some highlights include: Optimized User Interface: The interface is clean and focused on usability, even for users handling complex financial tasks. Navigation is intuitive, and key actions are always easily accessible. Robust Design System: The design system allowed for efficient collaboration between design and development, ensuring a smooth transition from Figma to code and reducing errors during implementation. Real-Time Data Visualization: The platform features dynamic, real-time charts and tables that update as transactions occur, allowing users to monitor the status of their settlements instantly. Developer Collaboration: Thanks to effective communication and clear documentation, the developers were able to implement the designs with high accuracy, leading to a final product that closely matched the initial design vision.
