EXECUTION

Research

Shadowed and interviewed five financial planners to understand their process and identify pain points. Created user personas to inform design directions.

Planning

I have conducted collaborative sessions to create a customer journey and initial sketches. This helped gather stakeholder ideas and develop a plan to proceed.

Page flows and interaction

Iterated on flow diagrams and navigation patterns. Defined interaction guidelines for pages and components.

Wire frames

Wireframes went through multiple iterations based on user testing and business requirements, enabling clear communication and quick feedback.

Validation Testing

Validation testing with 6 planners & 3 users to understand what works well and what doesn’t. The test results were synthesised and analysed to identify the common patterns and prioritised.

Final Designs

Wireframes were iterated through user testing, business input, and standardisation needs, helping communicate design intent clearly and enabling fast feedback from stakeholders.
