Working closely with UX a site map was created to allow the clients forsight into
the features of the MVP. Through the workshop and audit of the old experience
the team was able to hone in on the particular areas of the MVP that was most
feasible for tech and for the clients launch date.
Due to the nature of the project, a new design system was created based upon and modified from the original UBS style guide. Alignment meetings with Switzerland head office become an integral part of the process to get new or modified components approved and over the line.
The inital designs focused on more of a graphical representation of the clients wealth, using charts and bar graphs. However whilst working closely with the product owners this evolved into something totally different. The UX became conversational with relevant information being surfaced up to its users in a contextual manner. Prompting users to engage with its features. It became more personalized and educational for the user.
