Quantexa

In 2018 Quantexa was taking its platform from beta to 1.0. Brilliant developers had designed and built it; I was the first designer they brought in.

Its users hunt for fraud and money laundering in networks of people, companies and transactions.

Learning the domain

I spent time with users, including the fraud team at Barclays, to learn how they worked and where Quantexa could help.

PlaceholderResearch: sessions with users, notes or journey maps

I couldn’t change the journeys much, so I redesigned the interface to bring the key information forward and take out friction.

I built the design system it still uses today: colour, icons, controls and patterns like search.

After launch I helped hire a Head of Product Design to take the role on. In 2025 Quantexa was valued at $2.6bn.
