Open Wallet
What started as a two-week card-flow sprint turned into product strategy, lending research, prediction markets, brand direction, and expansion work across the whole wallet.

The product had strong engineering and real traction (~45K users), but no distinct identity.
It looked like every other wallet — Trust Wallet patterns everywhere. No cohesive brand across product, website, and marketing. Design was treated as a supporting function, not a driver. Scope was exploding with no structure to support continuous work.
At the same time the product was expanding into cards, banking, off-ramps, prediction markets, and lending — growing complexity without a unified design layer.
We moved from execution to ownership.
Started proposing changes outside the original scope — turning design from reactive to proactive. Built a scalable visual system: shifted from flat illustrations to 3D-driven identity, added real-world visuals, and aligned product, website, and marketing into one system.
Established a retainer model — continuous support instead of fixed scopes, fast response without renegotiation, operating like an internal team. Expanded into product strategy — full research and specs for new features, competitive analysis across 14+ platforms, UX decisions driven by risk, trust, and financial behavior.
Maintained real ownership — daily communication with founders, quality control after release, and proactive improvements without being asked.
Open Wallet started as a quick 7-screen sprint and became the product’s core design function. We didn’t just ship interfaces — we built the visual system, brand, and strategic layer that let the team move fast on prediction markets, lending, off-ramps, and banking without piling up design debt.

The team doesn’t just design what we ask for. They go deeper into the product, challenge the brief when needed, and bring back thinking we didn’t know we needed. This is one of the main reasons we love working with them.
