I developed a design system that sped up layout creation and simplified product support. All screens were rebuilt with new components, and platform-specific versions were designed for iOS and Android. This ensured visual consistency, enhanced the user experience, and significantly reduced the time required for new features and updates.
Implementing a design system streamlined workflows, accelerated development, and simplified the integration of new features.

Together with the product manager, we conducted an in-depth competitive analysis, examining market leaders like Revolut, Wise, Vivid, Raiffeisen, T-bank, Monese, and others while leveraging data from Statista. To gain deeper insights, I enrolled in all available retail and corporate banking applications to study their functional solutions and user experience in detail.
