When Coinlib.io approached me, they had a bold vision: to create a platform that would be the go-to source for cryptocurrency investors and enthusiasts. With a wealth of real-time data, detailed analytics, and industry updates at their disposal, they needed a design that could translate this complexity into an accessible and engaging user experience. Challenge accepted.

The web platform: Analytics made intuitive

My journey with Coinlib began with the web platform. From day one, I knew that the design had to do more than just look good—it needed to work seamlessly. The cryptocurrency world is fast-paced and data-heavy, so I focused on creating a responsive, user-friendly interface that could distill complex analytics into bite-sized insights.

Challenges:

Translating intricate cryptocurrency data into a clear, digestible format.
Balancing aesthetics with functionality for a professional yet approachable design.
Ensuring the platform remained responsive across all devices.

My approach:

Design: I prioritized a clean, professional look that reflected Coinlib’s authority in the market while making it easy for users to find what they needed.
Navigation: A thoughtfully structured interface allowed users to access real-time prices, detailed coin data, charts, and news without feeling overwhelmed.
Front-end development: I left no pixel unchecked, delivering a seamless user experience with smooth interactions and fast load times.

The result? A visually striking and highly functional web platform that sets Coinlib apart from its competitors.

Going mobile: Cryptocurrency data on the go

After the web platform’s success, Coinlib raised the stakes. They wanted to bring the same level of usability and elegance to mobile—enter the Coinlib iOS and Android apps. My mission: to ensure users could access real-time cryptocurrency data anytime, anywhere, with the same fluidity they’d come to expect from the web app.

Challenges:

Translating the web app’s comprehensive feature set to a smaller screen.
Preserving the intuitive navigation and responsiveness of the desktop experience.
Ensuring consistency in design and functionality across iOS and Android platforms.

My approach:

React native development: While the development of the mobile apps was handled by Coinlib’s talented development team, my contribution focused on delivering high-fidelity mockups in Sketch and a comprehensive library of assets. These resources played a crucial role in ensuring the iOS and Android apps maintained design consistency and aligned with the web platform's user experience.
Feature parity: I meticulously recreated all web app features for mobile, ensuring no compromise in functionality.
Intuitive interactions: Smooth transitions, thoughtful gestures, and a clutter-free interface ensured the apps felt as polished as the web platform.

The mobile apps extended Coinlib’s reach, empowering users to stay on top of the crypto market—whether at their desks or on the go.

A partnership built on excellence

My collaboration with Coinlib didn’t just result in a product; it forged a lasting partnership. From brainstorming to implementation, I worked side-by-side with their team to bring their vision to life. The outcome is a testament to our shared commitment to quality and innovation.

Why it matters

Coinlib.io is more than just a project; it’s proof of my ability to tackle complex challenges and deliver results that exceed expectations. By blending user-centered design with technical precision, I transformed a data-heavy concept into an elegant, user-friendly platform—a shining example of what’s possible when vision meets execution.

In an exciting turn of events, Coinlib was eventually acquired, marking the end of my direct partnership with the project. However, I’m proud that the design decisions I made continue to stand the test of time, ensuring the platform’s usability and appeal remain intact.
