TOOLS
Figma
001 LONG STORY SHORT
I designed a fintech app end-to-end that relies on stablecoins to provide higher yields to consumers
Brookwell was designed in collaboration with Blockchain @ Berkeley.
01
Concept
Reframed account abstraction as a design constraint: make the blockchain completely invisible to the end user.
02
Interaction Design
Designed onboarding, spending, and recovery flows for two personas sharing one wallet (a parent and a teen).
03
Visual Design
Built a full component library and color system in Figma, from scratch, in under 48 hours.
002 THE PROBLEM
A gap exists between modern financing and crypto
Gen Z consumers are comfortable navigating digital finance, but they're still stuck with traditional banking's low returns. Many are curious about crypto, yet DeFi's complexity and volatility keep them from actually using it. As a result, there's no simple, reliable way for them to earn modern financial yield on the money they spend every day.
HOW MIGHT WE
How might we help Gen Z earn yield on their money through stablecoins while preserving the safety of a traditional banking experience?
003 DESIGN PROCESS
We wanted to prioritize user experience
Elements
Trust
The platform should feel as trustworthy as any other banking platform.
Usability
The platform should be safe: people needed to know where their money is at all times.
Under the Hood
Stablecoins were the core of the platform, but they shouldn't feel like that: it was about striking a balance.
We studied the UI of other successful fintech apps, indexing on those that felt particularly intuitive and trustworthy. We learned that simple UIs with strong hierarchies and clear breakdowns of financial topics performed the best.

006 REFLECTION
What I learned
Design changes when it becomes real
Brookwell was my first chance to design an app while seeing it developed alongside us. Watching screens become a working product taught me to think beyond individual Figma frames and consider the entire experience.
Every detail becomes a decision.
Starting from the ground up made me more intentional about color, spacing, typography, and even corner radius. It was challenging, and seeing Brookwell go live made it incredibly fulfilling. Huge thanks to Tvisha for leading the team with such a clear vision. I’m honored to have contributed.
