LEAD DESIGNER / UI & UX DESIGN
My final project for twentysix in Leeds, before I moved to London, was for Monitise. They mainly created backend financial software for mobile applications but had recently re-branded and taken over a mobile design agency.

Our brief was to create a modern responsive site that showcased the specialisms of their traditional software offering and their newly acquired design department. They wanted a site that could house beautiful case studies, demonstrate their product offering and also show off their agency culture with a focus on people.

The deadline was tight and the budget was quite small so we worked in a very collaborative and agile manner. I lead the design, and also the UX, with assistance from our head of UX. We decided to have multiple rapid UX labs where we quickly sketched on paper different layouts and interactions. We brought the client in regularly to these sessions, working closely with them and feeding their inputs into the next session.

One of the biggest challenges faced during this project was understanding Monitise’s complex product offering and cloud services. This was being restructured during the project, which meant we had to continually adapt our approach. Also the Monitise re-branding was still very fresh when we received it and was still going through changes, this meant updating and re-thinking visual language. On the plus side it also allowed me to feed into the new branding, giving my recommendations on iconography, typography and photography for the online environment.
