The problem

Platform users are challenged by inefficient and segmented UX, resulting in 60-second information locate time and 46% task incompletion rate. This impacts smooth operations and makes up 50% of all support center calls.

As a part of a JPMorgan flagship treasury platform, this workflow streamlines the post payment monitor, track, communication, and edit experience.

Final deliverables

Lessons & Challenges

Go the extra step

Involve engineering early

It’ll never be perfect

Simply completing what is requested isn’t enough. I actively sought out additional resources and learned that going the extra step can help me achieve better results in my design.

Unlike school or volunteering projects, Waffle is a for-profit business, and I learned to create

opportunities for purchase incentives while

maintaining intuitive user experience.

Maintaining aligned with engineering partners early on helped me understand their capabilities and created tech-friendly design that is feasible for a win-win situation.

I spent a lot of time educating the engineers about the design system after I discovered the disconnection between tech and design. This taught me how vital a working design system is.

No matter how many iterations I create, there’ll always be space for improvement. I learned when to draw the finish line so that delivery can happen on time following schedule.
