The Problem

The company needed a personalized performance dashboard that clearly showed users how their investments were performing in real time. Existing reporting made it hard to quickly understand portfolio performance, holdings, and where to learn more. The dashboard had to work across mobile and desktop/web and be designed in a late-stage startup environment where decisions had a big impact. I worked on a small cross-functional team with a project manager, an analyst, two developers, and two designers.

The Solution

We designed a modular, personalized dashboard that highlighted key performance metrics first, with deeper portfolio and holdings details available as users dug in. The layout focused on quick clarity, using progressive disclosure to avoid overwhelming users. Shared components allowed the experience to scale across mobile and desktop, while educational content was embedded directly into the dashboard so users could learn in context. The final design balanced clarity, flexibility, and buildability to support a confident product launch.

We combined user interviews, customer insights, and competitive analysis to understand investor needs and shape the dashboard’s structure and content.

Our research combined user feedback, customer support insights, and competitive analysis to understand investor needs. Existing support data highlighted recurring questions and points of confusion, showing where users struggled most. We built on this by interviewing investors to learn their goals, pain points, and expectations for the dashboard, which informed early journey maps, personas, and key themes. We also ran a competitive review across mobile and desktop, looking at robo-advisors, micro-investing tools, ETFs, and crypto apps. We focused on how each product structured information, presented performance data, and helped users understand complex concepts.

We explored multiple wireframe directions, refined them through stakeholder reviews, and validated the designs through hands-on testing with real users.

We explored multiple wireframe directions, refined them through stakeholder reviews, and validated the designs through hands-on testing with real users.

After several rounds of design refinement, we reviewed the wireframes with the PM and co-founders to ensure the designs aligned with business goals and met accessibility, security, and regulatory expectations before moving into testing. Our user testing was primarily qualitative. Over several days, we spoke directly with existing users, gathered their impressions, and observed them as they completed tasks in the prototype. This helped us surface both small points of confusion, like unclear visual cues, and larger issues such as navigation clarity and feature expectations.

The final dashboard gives investors a clear overview of their funds with one-click access to deeper details, and presents transactions in a receipt-style format that mirrors real-world references. We partnered closely with developers to ensure the designs were feasible and supported by clear implementation guidelines.

Looking back, I really enjoyed this project and the responsibility the designers had. It was great working within a company that really understands the importance and impact that good design can have on a system and the general user experience. The visual appeal is important, but with this, the functionality is arguably more important. With many financial applications providing comparable features, it’s the user experience and intuitive interface that can sell a potential user on the platform. I learned about myself as a designer and what I enjoy working with. Being a numbers guy at heart, it was great to work on a data visualization and dashboard project.
