USER RESEARCH AND PAIN POINT ANALYSIS
To ensure my design decisions were data-driven, I conducted a thorough research process that involved analyzing previous user research data and survey results, conducting discussions with Walletgyde's former UI/UX designers to understand past design decisions, and performing personal user testing with family and friends to identify additional usability issues. The Survey garnered 14 respondents. Despite the small testing pool, we were given highly detailed responses, which I
synthesized below.
​
The existing typography lacked hierarchy, making it difficult for users to scan and comprehend content.
The UI relied heavily on restrictive card formats, leading to a cluttered and inefficient user flow.
The calendar interface lacked clear guidance, making appointment scheduling frustrating.
Users struggled to navigate between financial coach profiles, leading to engagement drop-offs.
​The desktop UI elements did not translate well to mobile screens, resulting in usability issues.
KEY FINDINGS
SOLUTIONS
UI Redesign for Improved Legibility & Navigation
I was tasked to Introduce a clear typographic hierarchy using Walletgyde’s brand style guide, optimizing font sizes and weights for improved readability., I adjusted color contrasts and spacing for enhanced accessibility., and redesigned card formats to be more modular, improving content hierarchy and user interaction.
ENHANCED CALENDAR NAVIGATION
To simplify the scheduling interface, I implemented a step-by-step selection process. I also introduced clear CTA buttons for different actions (e.g., "Confirm Appointment", and "Reschedule") and added a progress indicator to guide users through the
scheduling process.
FINANCIAL COACH PROFILE NAVIGATION
For better profile browsing, I designed a swipeable card interface for mobile, allowing users to browse coach profiles effortlessly. I implemented filtering options for users to refine their search based on expertise, availability, and ratings. Additionally, I improved profile layouts to highlight key advisor information at a glance.
OUTCOMES
This redesign project for Walletgyde was a great opportunity to enhance both web and mobile usability. By focusing on typography, navigation, and mobile-first design, I was able to deliver a more seamless and engaging experience for users. Moving forward, Walletgyde can further refine its user flows through additional usability testing and iterative
design improvements.
