To bring that vision to life, I joined the team to collaborate closely with stakeholders and drive the product’s evolution from discovery to testing. Stepping in as the lead designer, I took ownership of transforming the initial MVP—prioritizing features, setting internal deadlines, and ensuring seamless communication across the team.


During my time at Vant (Sept ‘23 - Sept ‘24), I worked as the lead designer, ensuring design consistency and alignment with the brand and marketing strategist. More importantly, I took on roles as a user researcher and product designer, shaping the product experience through research-driven decisions.

I joined Vant in late 2023 when the product was a far cry from what it is today—drastically different and limited in scope. Back then, Vant was a fintech with only basic app features, allowing users to fund and save money.

These insights shaped every aspect of the Vant app design, ensuring it was both intuitive and user-friendly. To address these issues, we needed to map out a process flow that was intuitive, non-conflicting, and streamlined the user journey. The following approach brought smiles to our users and enhanced their overall experience.
