My design process
I start with research to understand users. I create personas, brainstorm, make wireframes and prototypes, test with users, and gather feedback. This ensures my designs are easy and enjoyable to use.

Emphatize
Research & Analysis
The first steps were Interview users (Traders) and stakeholders (Project manager, Programmers, Marketers and CEO).
Users need on-the-go news for all things financial, business, economic and political related to their everyday trading needs. They need especially news that directly relates to forex, and commodities trading, and also they want to have to invest immediately when the opportunity is there.
Stakeholders see in this app business opportunity. They are considering between adding ads to the app and earning money from transactions.
Below you can see insights written into stickies from both of these interviews.
Define
User persona
Through our user research - user interviews, we got valuable information about our users. They are mostly businessmen from India, Pakistan, and Indonesia. They want to earn more money by investing in the world’s markets on the go.
IDEATE
User flows
We created a step-by-step process a web visitor takes to reach their desired goal. We assessed issues or gaps that can be redesigned and optimized, thereby allowing user goals to be reached quicker and more efficiently.
Prototype
Concepts & Wireframes
Based on our user interviews we created the first wireframes with the cooperation of stakeholders. We decided, that we will test these wireframes on our stakeholders and after we will finish MVP (minimum valuable product) we will test on users the real app. Because our users don't understand the idea of wireframes, prototypes and it's easier to get feedback from them from a real application.
Prototype
Style guide & Visual design
The next plan of action was to create color palettes and typography that would help communicate the brand’s identity and also give the product a professional and elegant feel.

Clickable prototype
In the prototype are included a registration process, dashboard, news, calendar, markets indices, watchlist, investing process, deposit, withdraw, and settings. The prototype is created in Figma and you can find the link below.
TEST
Validation, Usability, Feedback
After we finished MVP we looked closer at the user's feedback. We received really nice feedback and also bad feedback about security issues, nonfunction parts of the app, missing features, and so on.
So we heard to our users and we improved our application step by step to more closely aligned with a real user's needs and goals.
Pretty convenient app
It’s so handful and simple app with great quality within it. What a great app!

Great app and calendar
The calendar and information are as good as ever I’ve seen and it’s fast. Perfect overview of the market.

Challenges & Conclusion
We chose the approach, that we firstly build MVP in cooperation with stakeholders, and then we will constantly improve our application based on user feedback in sprints. The CEO pushed us to create an application as immediately as possible, so there was no space for deep research and testing on users in the early stages.
