A skilled UIUX Desginer with a passion for creating innovative and visually appealing digital experiences.
Being my first project in a space that I was not familiar with, the whole experience was quite challenging, as it required me to not only put myself into a position to understand mutiple groups of users (developers and founders) due to the fact that I had no access to any user research methods nor data.
I was tasked with creating the brand for the Algorand Blockchain. The Blockchain is relatively new, and is always looking for developers to build infrastructure. However, as Algorand has their own programming language, the number of developers who can function in this space are few. Answering ro a surge in developers who wish to expand into the crypto industry, as well as the need for talent trained in Algorand’s programming language, there is a missing link in training and certifying talent, and connecting them with the Algorand community.
The site had to have two branches, a Venture Studio, as well as a Developer Resource hub, for Developers to access courses and channels that allow them to ask for help or discuss relevant topics.
As it was a new endeavor, there wasn’t much I could do in terms of research or references, but after speaking with stakeholders and discussions with the design team, I started by designing the logo for the project.
To start things off, I came up with two possible directions to take the project - a more creative and colorful aesthetic, or a more structured and reliable aesthetic. The former was agreed on.
