Years

2018-2019 (8 Months)

In 2018, fintech startup Quantexa were transitioning their flagship SaaS platform version from Beta to 1.0. The software had been designed and built by highly skilled developers, but I was the first designer that they had brought into the team.

In order to understand the key user journeys required within the platform, I had to take on board a lot of information outside of my normal expertise. I spent some time with users, including the fraud team at Barclays, understanding how Quantexa could improve their processes around fraud detection and money laundering.  

While I couldn't significantly change the journeys within the product, I was able to completely redesign the UI in order to help highlight key information and reduce friction.

I built the foundational design system which is still in use today, and after launch I helped in the hiring of a Head of Product Design to take on the role permanently. In 2025, Quantexa was valued at $2.6bn following a Series F fundraising round.
