My portfolio

Santander Bank

Corporate banking platform
Jan 2020 - Sept 2023

My role in the project:
Team Leader & UX Designer

Santander Bank is one of the biggest banks in the world. It is a global financial institution that operates in various countries, providing a wide range of banking and financial services to individuals, businesses, and institutions. My team's goal was to completely redesign a huge online banking platform dedicated to corporate clients (mostly big companies).

My responsibilities:

Wireframing and Prototyping.  I collaborated closely with business stakeholders to define and develop product's value proposition, ensuring it is aligned with the company’s strategic goals and met user needs.

UX research. I worked with the UX research team to incorporate findings from usability testing, leading to a series of enhancements and optimizations in the prototype.

Based on thorough analysis of industry benchmarks and current design trends, I crafted a cohesive UX design language for the banking platform that visually communicated the brand’s identity and values.

Design system that we created provided front-end developers with clear guidelines to seamlessly develop HTML/CSS templates. This not only facilitated a smooth development process but also set a foundation for the website’s future growth by defining the graphic style and design standards for all core UI elements.
