My Role
As the Lead Product Designer for Nexa Wallet, I led the end-to-end design process—from discovery to delivery. My focus was on creating a secure, intuitive experience for managing crypto assets across multiple blockchains. I conducted UX research, mapped user journeys, and crafted wireframes that informed the overall structure of the app. I designed a scalable design system in Figma, ensuring consistency and adaptability across screens and platforms. I collaborated closely with developers, providing interaction specs and supporting implementation. Additionally, I facilitated user testing to validate design decisions and iterate on user flows, especially around onboarding and transaction tasks.
