Overview
At Tunnel Vision Labs, I led the design of a brand-new, cross-chain DeFi protocol focused on intents. Working in a small team of five, I managed all creative efforts from branding and UX/UI to front-end management.
Although the project pivoted just before launch to focus on intents research instead of a full DeFi rollout, we successfully launched a testnet. I also designed the new UI and branding for the pivot, ensuring a seamless transition to the research-focused direction.
The Challenge
Our team big StarCraft fans, drew heavily on the Protoss race when naming the brand and designing the UI. From the outset, simplicity was paramount, we focused on core primitives while preserving a sleek, modern look and super easy flows.
The Outcome
Although the product never reached mainnet due to a strategic pivot toward research, the testnet UX was well polished and well received. I'm proud of the quality we delivered in the time we had, and it was genuinely a pleasure to use the UI.
