In 2024, Artfi — a blockchain-powered art investment platform — faced a challenge. Its ecosystem had grown into four separate products: Artfi Token, Artfi Connect, Artfi Share, and Artinals. Each served a purpose, but together they created a fragmented experience. Investors had to jump between platforms, manage scattered data, and deal with confusing workflows.
This case study explores how I led the end-to-end design of Artfi Curated, a unified dashboard that brought the entire ecosystem into one place.
I worked as the product designer on this project. My role was to shape the experience from early ideas to final handoff. I collaborated closely with the founder, product team, and developers to align on goals and priorities. I also guided design decisions during iterations, making sure the app stayed simple, functional, and easy to build.
We wanted to understand how people feel about art and why they hesitate to invest in it. To do this, we spoke with 10 participants including young professionals, art enthusiasts, and first-time investors. The goal was to uncover the fears and expectations around art as an asset.
The research showed that most people see fine art as expensive and out of reach. Many participants were interested in the idea of fractional ownership but worried about trust and transparency. They had questions about how secure the investment is, and whether they could resell their shares easily.
These insights helped us focus on building clarity, trust, and simplicity into the product experience.
said fine art feels too expensive to even think about investing in
were interested in fractional ownership but had low trust in online platforms
said they were confused about how the value of art is calculated
wanted an easy way to resell their shares but felt unsure if that was possible
How might we create an art investment platform that makes fine art feel accessible, builds trust through transparency, explains value in simple terms, and gives people confidence that they can resell their shares easily?
Three goals that defined success for the launch — measurable, user-centred, and tied to the trust gap we surfaced in research.
Increased trust in fractional art investment through transparent on-chain proofs.
Onboarded 25,000+ investors across 12 countries within six months of launch.
40% repeat investment rate within six months — a strong signal of growing platform confidence.
After several explorations and early beta versions, the product went through six to eight months of refinement. Each step was shaped by user feedback, helping us simplify flows and build more trust into the experience.
Artfi taught me the importance of balancing creativity with usability. While art demands beauty, investors needed clarity and efficiency in navigating complex tokenised assets.
I'd prioritise testing across different user groups earlier to refine accessibility and engagement flows.
Great design for creative platforms lies in bridging storytelling with functionality, making art and finance feel seamless together.

Founded in 2020, Wilgax grew from a small team serving local businesses to a global digital partner with clients across the US, UK, Dubai, and Asia.
Their growth story — 500+ projects, 50+ clients, and consistent ROI boosts (avg. 250%) — was powerful. But their old digital identity didn't reflect that momentum. They needed a new face that would inspire trust, feel modern, and instantly communicate results & innovation.
That's where my role came in: to craft a design system and storytelling-driven UX that matched their ambitions.
Most digital agencies today fall into one of two traps:
Wilgax, as a fast-growing AI-powered digital solutions company, needed a presence that could:
Through research into competitor agencies and stakeholder feedback, I uncovered:


of client inquiries came through "Book a Call", showing high intent and trust in direct engagement.
of service requests were for AI-driven solutions, highlighting growing demand for automation.
of repeat visitors explored the Services page, with Web & App Development the most viewed.
total traffic came from international clients (US, UK, Dubai), validating global expansion.
How might we create a digital-first agency platform that minimises decision friction for potential clients, simplifies navigation across services, ensures credibility through transparent data and testimonials, and provides a clear and motivating path toward booking a call without overwhelming the user?
Three signals that defined a successful redesign — anchored in trust, clarity, and conversion.
Built stronger global trust through proof-led storytelling and testimonials placed up-front.
Clearer navigation that reduced user decision friction across services and case studies.
Increased qualified leads with a direct, motivating "Book a Call" path on every key surface.
The final experience delivers:

Driving a premium digital presence.
Building Wilgax reinforced the power of AI in transforming service workflows. Automating tasks like lead generation and campaign management gave the team more time to focus on strategy and client success.
I'd map out clearer onboarding journeys for clients so they instantly see the value of automation instead of needing explanations.
Service platforms thrive when they blend intelligence with simplicity — helping teams scale impact without scaling complexity.

I led the design vision for Fortuna, collaborating closely with the product and engineering teams. I also guided two junior designers and coordinated with stakeholders across Product Management, Engineering, QA, and Customer Success to ensure the solution met real user needs.
To understand the challenges professionals face in meeting management, we conducted a comprehensive study with 20 participants across different industries — including tech, consulting, and startups.
Key insights included:


of professionals reported missing at least one key discussion point from the previous meeting.
felt underprepared before joining important meetings.
relied on scattered notes across emails, chat, or docs to recall past discussions.
said they spent over 15 minutes preparing for each meeting.
To uncover the true needs of the user, I explored the root cause through a thoughtful reflection process. Instead of stopping at surface-level insights, I kept asking "why?" diving deeper until the core motivation came into focus.
Here's how it unfolded:
Key Insight: Users need a platform that not only schedules meetings but also provides clarity, personalised summaries, and actionable insights.
"A meeting without preparation is just a waste of time — Fortuna makes every minute count."
With clear user needs in mind, I explored solutions to improve meeting management, preparation, and follow-through.
The Solution. To address the core problem, I applied the "How Might We" approach to reimagine the meeting experience.
How might we make meetings feel organised, insightful, and stress-free?
The solution combines:
By integrating these features into a seamless interface, Fortuna transforms meetings from time-consuming obligations into clear, actionable, and productive sessions that professionals can feel confident about.

Three north-star outcomes that defined a successful launch.
Faster meeting prep — users feel ready in minutes, not hours.
120K+ users within the first six months of launch.
70% AI-prep usage consistently before meetings by month two.
Refined through feedback, Fortuna delivers a clean dashboard, AI summaries, quick prep, and smart notifications for productive meetings.
Driving smarter meetings, faster decisions.
Building Fortuna highlighted how vital simplicity and clarity are in scheduling tools. Users valued quick access to meetings and clear summaries more than complex features.
Next time, I'd run usability tests earlier in the prototype phase to catch navigation pain points before scaling designs.
Productivity tools succeed when they reduce friction — helping users focus on collaboration instead of managing logistics.
