Kesh

Finance (B2C)


2021
Designed with Firma studio

Role:
UI Design, Library Building, Illustration, and UX Design













THE APP

 A digital wallet designed for individuals with banking challenges, allowing them to self-manage money without relying on a traditional bank account.









THE TASK

Designing a financial product whose core essence is "Free with your money," which conveys trustworthiness similar to a banking app, while delivering a lighter, more independent, tangible, and positive user experience.









THE PROCESS

The Role


In my role I was responsible for managing and executing the entire UI process directly with the client.


Experience Optimization


Collaborated with UX designer, combining thinking on wireframes to optimize the user experience, despite the formal separation of UX and UI tasks.



UX wireframes








FEATURES

White Spaces


I've incorporated ample spacing around and between elements for improved user clarity, while also reducing clutter by minimizing graphic separation lines.







Light Illustrations


I developed a collection of illustrations with an easygoing and free-flowing style, to evoke a sense of lightness and approachability.







Chunky Icons


I designed slightly chunky and rounded icons with a friendly look, and ensured they match the font's style, establishing a consistent tone.













LIBRARY

Design System


I made sure the Kesh mobile app had a well-thought-out design system from the get-go, keeping things consistent and efficient.


User Centric


After extensive research and testing, I pinpointed the essential elements that would really connect with Kesh's target users, forming the core of the app.


Forward Looking


Establishing an organized design system with clear names, categories, and layers made it easy for fellow designers. They can now effortlessly find and customize elements to meet their specific needs.



















GRID & LAYOUT

Standardization


I standardized element dimensions and spacing in 8-pixel multiples.





Lego


This way, adding new elements and rearranging components is as straightforward as playing with Lego bricks.











This project taught me to look at design in a systemic way and manage a process effectively, both as a designer and as a project manager.
