Making investing
more understandable
Project Overview
Problem
Navigating the world of cryptocurrency can be challenging for new and casual users due to its complex terminology, diverse array of coins, and the technical nature of transactions and wallets. The lack of reliable educational resources prevent many potential investors from entering the cryptocurrency market.

Here’s what the learning modules looked like during usability testing, so this was before the learning modules were consolidated, and before adjustments were made to the UI designs.
This adjustment enhanced the user experience because it allowed us to consolidate all of the learning within the original nav bar option of “learning” rather than having a separate nav bar UI for the trading lessons.
To avoid user confusion caused by a separate "learn trading" UI from the traditional navigation bar, the issue was addressed by integrating all trading modules into the "learning modules," and a 7th module was created.

What I learned
I had to make many different iterations based on user feedback, such as organizing the educational content all within one place. This provided a clear area where users can learn, which reduced confusion. Users could click on the learning icon in the nav bar to access all learning materials without having to search in different areas of the app.
Improvement for Future Designs
In future projects, I will prioritize gathering and analyzing user feedback early and often to inform design iterations. By creating centralized hubs for related content, I can enhance usability and ensure that users can easily find the information they need.
Iterative Design and User Feedback
Key Takeaways
What I learned
I learned how to become better at organizing the design process. This included naming conventions, responsive designs, and creating variants while making components. These practices streamlined adjustments later in the design stages and facilitated iteration redesigns after user feedback during usability testing.
Improvement for Future Designs
Moving forward, I will implement a structured design system from the outset of each project. This will include standardized naming conventions, the creation of reusable components, and responsive design principles to ensure consistency and efficiency throughout the design process.
Organization and Design Process
What I learned
I learned how to find ways to reinforce learning, such as adding interactive quizzes after the user completes a lesson. Initially, the app only had the learning aspect without quizzes, which did not provide a way for users to test their newly acquired knowledge.
Improvement for Future Designs
In future applications, I will integrate interactive elements like quizzes, flashcards, and practice exercises to reinforce learning and enhance user engagement. This approach ensures that users can apply what they have learned and retain information more effectively.
Reinforcing Learning with Interactive Elements
Conclusion
These key takeaways highlight the critical lessons learned and the improvements that will be made in future projects. By focusing on user feedback, organizing the design process, and reinforcing learning, I am better equipped to create more effective and user-friendly applications.

Key Takeaways
What I learned
I learned how to become better at organizing the design process. This included naming conventions, responsive designs, and creating variants while making components. These practices streamlined adjustments later in the design stages and facilitated iteration redesigns after user feedback during usability testing.
Organization and Design Process
Improvement for Future Designs
Moving forward, I will implement a structured design system from the outset of each project. This will include standardized naming conventions, the creation of reusable components, and responsive design principles to ensure consistency and efficiency throughout the design process.
What I learned
I learned how to find ways to reinforce learning, such as adding interactive quizzes after the user completes a lesson. Initially, the app only had the learning aspect without quizzes, which did not provide a way for users to test their newly acquired knowledge.
Improvement for Future Designs
In future applications, I will integrate interactive elements like quizzes, flashcards, and practice exercises to reinforce learning and enhance user engagement. This approach ensures that users can apply what they have learned and retain information more effectively.
Reinforcing Learning with Interactive Elements
These key takeaways highlight the critical lessons learned and the improvements that will be made in future projects. By focusing on user feedback, organizing the design process, and reinforcing learning, I am better equipped to create more effective and user-friendly applications.
Conclusion
What I learned
I had to make many different iterations based on user feedback, such as organizing the educational content all within one place. This provided a clear area where users can learn, which reduced confusion. Users could click on the learning icon in the nav bar to access all learning materials without having to search in different areas of the app.
Improvement for Future Designs
In future projects, I will prioritize gathering and analyzing user feedback early and often to inform design iterations. By creating centralized hubs for related content, I can enhance usability and ensure that users can easily find the information they need.

Learn Trading UI
This adjustment enhanced the user experience because it allowed us to consolidate all of the learning within the original nav bar option of “learning” rather than having a separate nav bar UI for the trading lessons.
To avoid user confusion caused by a separate "learn trading" UI from the traditional navigation bar, the issue was addressed by integrating all trading modules into the "learning modules," and a 7th module was created.

Usability Testing
Here’s what the learning modules looked like during usability testing, so this was before the learning modules were consolidated, and before adjustments were made to the UI designs.
