Approach
Distilling a nascent space of technical complexity to experiential simplicity. Every decision across each brand touchpoint was meant to amplify approachability, clarity, empowerment, and ultimately delight.
On-ramps included an initial portfolio tracker which would later evolve into more complexity by allowing for transactions through a non-custodial wallet, and the world of NFTs - rare, digital collectibles.

Outcome
The design work, specifically the UI and UX of the consumer app continues to be championed across both App (4.9) and Play (4.7) Stores. Our brand presence prior to launch at one of the largest crypto/blockchain conferences, Consensus, was met with excitement and praise and even called “one of the coolest blockchain startups” by PCMag.
