2 prototypes of financial management tools on desktop.

Financial Services Client

Project Overview

Synopsis

Throughout my tenure, I redesigned and enhanced a suite of financial management tools, enabling essential business planning and budgeting for financial advisors. Additionally, I collaborated with a fellow designer to implement a new Jira system to streamline project tracking and enhance visibility for stakeholders.

In particular, I led a redesign of the client’s Bonus Allocation tool, simplifying the process for financial advisors to allocate bonuses among themselves and their team. I also revamped screens for financial advisors’ Profit and Loss and Financial Forecasting tools, which provided invaluable insight on current and future financial performance.

I consolidated complex financial policy details into functional design requirements supported by use research data, reviewing iterations with stakeholders and meeting with Accessibility experts to ensure compliance with WCAG standards. Additionally, I created UI feature tickets for the Product Owner to expedite development and conducted thorough QA testing to guarantee accuracy in the build.

Problem

My client implemented large policy changes that significantly impacted the UI for multiple applications such as the Bonus Allocation, Profit and Loss, and Financial Forecasting tools. This required a complete overhaul of the Bonus Allocation tool, and substantial enhancements to the other two, to ensure financial advisors had accurate insights into their business performance.

Additionally, upon joining the project, there was a lack of a formal UX tracking system, leaving stakeholders without visibility into UX projects, tasks, enhancements, and intake requests.
