I participated on the research process and led the UI Design team of the new Digix's marketplace and the new website for mobile and desktop since the outset of the project in January 2019. I was also responsible for Digix Design System in order to ensure consistency throught different platforms.
Up until July 2020, I led efforts to evolve the service and address customer pain‐points related to the experience.

• Simplified KYC Process: Successfully reduced the KYC process from 6 to 3 steps, streamlining user onboarding
• Enhanced asset transparency: Designed and implemented a dashboard that integrates Digix's Proof of Provenance protocol, which allows users to trace every movement of physical gold backing DGX tokens.
• Improved user experience with gold redemption: Designed and optimized the user interface for gold redemption, enabling users to easily redeem gold bullion from custodial vaults in Singapore and Canada.

Discovery
We conducted customer and market research to drive our planning phase. We found some key insights that defined the launch version of the product.

The previous website
Digix's old website lacked a linear structure and visual consistency, as the website was too dense with dark colors in the background, which hindered the understanding and hierarchy of information.

The previous dashboard
Similar to the website, the old dashboard didn't have a clear structure, visual harmony/consistency and had a lengthy process for KYC which caused most users to give up on registration.

How we got there
The biggest challenge I faced throughout this project was balancing moving forward with designs, design system, whilst collaborating with the research team.
Handle feedback was even more challenging as the team spent a disproportional amount of time debating design decisions. As the research was evolving, we stated some design principles that helped to create visibility into the decision‐making process.

The controversial ’Buy Button’
This button had a great action in the user flow, both on the website and on the dashboard, so we decided to give it its deserved importance in this case.
It was one of the most controversial design decisions for our team as I spent more time commenting on these design decisions than solving the design problem! The two areas that were most debated related to:
What the button looked like?
What the button said?
We started the design process with the Think & Feel exercise from Gamestorming. However, we focused on the emotion point of view that users related with the Digix symbol(cut off corner) in the research process , and then applied this concept to the button.
After getting up the strengths and weaknesses of the explorations, I narrowed down to two competing design concepts: a square button and a cut off corner button. As to our decision, we put together a plan for user testing.

Design process
Based on the insights above, I felt good enough to move forward with the cutting off button design because I knew (according to the research) it would be very disruptive and effective in the industry.
My design process involved sketching concepts and user flows with the user experience leader and project managing partner and then translating them directly into high-fidelity design pieces, as I had done already designed several components of the styleguide, so it was relatively easy to go straight to high fidelity designs.
Below we have the user flow for KYC Process, Website and Dashboard as well as a high-fidelity prototype of the dashboard for Desktop.

New KYC Process
We restructured the entire KYC process in 3 steps, making it easier for the user to go through each step, providing user retention and contributing to a more organized and consistent UI design.

Design System
While the research was in progress and we were collecting all the findings, I started working on the Design System, starting with the Pattern Library, a library of user interface patterns and later evolving to the Design System.
