Deliverables:
  • 50+ screens for onboarding and self-service portal across mobile, tablet, and desktop
  • Fully functional interactive prototype for usability testing with real users
  • Comprehensive design system documenting style guide, component behaviors, and responsive breakpoints

Roles:

  • Creation and maintenance of design system
  • Collaboration with user researchers and developers to ensure usability and feasibility



After conducting UX research and applying a user-centered design framework on best practices for user onboarding, and aligning on key design KPIs, we developed a modular user flow that segments required inputs into three clear parts. This structure provides a transparent overview of the overall process, prevents content overload, and avoids overwhelming users. 

It also informs users in advance of any necessary documents, ensuring they are well-prepared. Each segment acts as a natural pause point, allowing users to exit and easily resume later from where they left off.



We developed a comprehensive  design system for both the developers and in-house design team, covering everything from visual styles to a diverse range of components. This system was created to ensure a seamless and cohesive user experience across multiple applications, unifying the design language and maintaining consistency in layouts and interactions.
