Why Zivolve?

Hedge funds get rich, while 95% of market traders lose $$$.

Due to experience and technology gaps, the playing field heavily favors hedge funds and corporations over individuals. Zivolve levels the playing field by using AI to suggest decisions based on market trends.

The Process

Every design task followed a 6-stage process.

My Role

Designed features and focused on the design system and user flows.

I collaborated with a fellow intern on many high-fidelity designs across the product. However, I took a prominent role in ensuring that the screens my co-intern and I create adhere to the design system and preparing the user flows to present during the next team meeting.

The Challenge

Rapid concept comprehension.

On top of learning essential investment fundamentals and concepts on the fly, I applied design thinking, followed design system guidelines, and ensured the best UI practices for my work. When I had knowledge gaps, I asked for clarification. Not doing so would increase the likelihood of a faulty design.

Impact

Trusted in designing essential features.

My co-intern and I designed many features essential to the product’s success. Most screens are still in the agile development process and will be live in the upcoming 5 product versions.

Reflections

Simplifying complexities is significant in UX.

Before starting my internship, I had limited knowledge of asset trading. However, I understood critical concepts by conducting research and receiving guidance from the team.

It made me realize that understanding complexities is something few people can fit into their schedules. Making the complex understandable is critical in designing people-focused interfaces.
