Hiive

Product Design Lead

Brief

Design the v1 product for this Canadian-based unlisted stock trading marketplace startup.

Activities

Work alongside the CPTO and CEO to develop brand and UI. Resolved a number of customer onboarding flows. Liaised across 3 time zones.

Results

End-to-end designs completed in 12 weeks before handing over to newly-recruited permanent team.

Brought in as an interim product design lead while the team scaled up. I developed the UX and designed the v1 product UI for launch in eight weeks.

As a remote team I ran many Figjam sessions where we collaborated on interaction flows, brand design and compliance requirements.

These sessions allowed both sync. and async. communication with the CPTO, CEO and legal team.

Working very closely with the Canada-based Founder and CTO we built out the skeleton brand identity elements and applied it to the desktop and mobile products.

The Hiive client dashboard.

Collaborated across three time zones with leadership and engineering teams. I integrated into the team quickly and adopted thier well-honed workflows and product development practices.

Post-launch, the platform raised CA$5.7M Series A.

The Hiive product is a responsive web app.
