My Role

Responsible for research, ideation, prototyping for user testing, and delivering a scalable visual design with a robust design system.

Team

I worked as the sole product designer for the web application, collaborating with another designer for mobile, two product managers, and eight engineers.

OVERVIEW

THE PROBLEM

Crypto is growing fast, new trading platforms and products are launching every day. To stay relevant, a trading platform needs to scale quickly and adapt to evolving user needs.

\Without a fast, powerful, and flexible platform, CoinDCX risked losing serious traders to better-equipped competitors.

WIREFRAME AND PROTOTYPE

LETS IDEATE

After reviewing our product and others, we saw that screen space is valuable. Every pixel should have a purpose, with elements sized and placed for clarity, efficiency, and ease of use.

FEEDBACK

TIME TO TEST

With the layout set, let’s add interactions for Level 2 data and see if users find it useful, easy to access, and impactful for trading.

What are your first thoughts when you see this screen?

“It looks clean, but there’s a lot of information at once.”

How would you place a market or a limit order?

"I think I need to click here, but I’m not sure."

Can you find the market price and your open orders?

"The market price is clear, but my open orders are hard to spot."

If you wanted to modify an open order, how easy is it?

“I expected an edit button here, but I have to go through a menu.”

Would you customise this layout if you could? How?

“No, this just seems right to me, I am familiar with these layouts.”

Do mobile and web interfaces feel familiar?

“The layout feels different from the mobile app.”

Do you feel confident placing a high-value trades?

“I’d double-check every thing, the confirmation step is missing!”
