Product UX / Design-system integration

Accessible cryptography product journeys

The problemThe product experience needed connected user flows, clear information architecture and a brand-integrated interface direction ready for engineering collaboration.

My contributionI designed ISARA user flows and accessible, brand-aligned interaction patterns, prototyping quickly for a clear engineering handoff.

Process

The work behind the decisions.

  1. 01

    Structure the product journey

    I structured discovery findings into user flows and information architecture before defining the interface direction.

  2. 02

    Prototype the interaction system

    AI-assisted prototyping connected interaction and visual design with design-system consistency, brand alignment and WCAG-informed screens.

  3. 03

    Review and prepare for implementation

    Reviewed prototypes with product and engineering, resolving handoff questions and documenting implementation needs within the two-week engagement.

Design-system alignment

One system, two contexts

Aligning brand, hierarchy and accessibility up front lets the product feel familiar while staying legible and buildable.

Annotated prototype flow

From structure to handoff

Rapid prototyping moved fastest when structure and states were settled first, so engineering received fewer open questions.

Key decisions

Design decisions that shaped the experience.

Decision 01

Let the journey shape the interface

Connect information architecture and user flows before refining the visual system, keeping the cryptography product’s tasks central.

Trade-off

A rapid design direction still needs explicit states and clear priorities for engineering.

Decision 02

Integrate brand through accessible patterns

Align interaction and visual design with reusable components, readable hierarchy and WCAG-informed accessibility.

Trade-off

Express brand identity without compromising familiar controls and task clarity.

Design value & supporting evidence

Accessible cryptography product journeys

The two-week engagement delivered a reviewed product design direction, with accessible interaction patterns, brand alignment and implementation handoff.

Reflection

Fast prototyping was useful only when flows, accessible controls and brand choices stayed explicit for engineering.

Research-led UX and in-app feedback systems

I mapped security journeys and designed reusable in-app feedback patterns, timed to each user’s task and product.
