Problems & Constraints

  • This experience is our company’s very first mid-market wealth advisory product and the client knows it and so they have a lot of sway over the design process.

​

  • This being our first product in this space means that we were inventing the product as we created it. The cascade of a bad decision could be vast.
  • ​
  • All of the design and development processes needed to be created for this team. When something falls through the cracks there is no net.

Data Rich Mobile Experience

Bringing a data-intensive financial platform to mobile without compromise is a genuine design challenge. We organized and prioritized information across mobile breakpoints to ensure clients get the full depth of their investment data, clearly laid out and easy to navigate, wherever they are.

star

Design Process

The design process begins with a deep understanding of user and client needs and context, followed by the establishment of clear, focused objectives. A diverse range of creative solutions is then explored and refined through iterative feedback. This approach ensures the delivery of meaningful, user-centered experiences that create real impact.

01

Discover

Analyzed the existing internal advisory product to find gaps/opportunities to be able to bring to Seven Post.

case study image

A composite persona of Lena Moreau was created from survey data that SevenPost had given to their clients. We did not have direct access to SevenPost's clientele. This is fairly standard in the financial space, as banks, brokerages, and wealth managers are very particular about the privacy of their clients.

​

We also created a persona for SevenPost advisor Richard Jeffs to help inform the design of an advisor-facing flow, complementing the client-facing experience built around Lena.

A journey map of Lena’s current experience getting her financial information (without a digital access) was created to guide design on creation to treat the primary pain points of the SevenPost client.

02

Define

We completed what we call internally a Solution Design Study which helps define the client’s needs and internal capabilities.

03

Design & Deliver

In order to deliver a fully functioning desktop and mobile experience we spent months in designs and feedback sessions with the client and development teams. As a result we launched Seven Post’s client experience product in less than 9 months.

Challenges

Every challenge was an opportunity to scale — here's how I approached it.

beachhead designing

This project was the first for our company in the Mid-market advisory arena. Thus the client had leverage to create ever expanding scope.

Aggressive & Consistent Iteration

We maintained a steady iteration schedule to keep up with client needs producing dozens of sets of iterations. We went above and beyond to meet client needs.

Retroactive Productization

Without previous Mid-market advisory experience as a beachhead project we had limited productization to draw from.

use of existing design library

We leveraged our extensive design library of markets apps to assemble a product foundation and maintain consistency. As a result of this project we have a robust Mid-market advisory product library

brand new internal team

This team had never worked together prior to this client engagement.

Co-working Sessions

Consistent internal touch points and use of extensive live working sessions in Figma cemented bonds between our team.

In The End

This project was foundational to the business health of Communify. By delivering a fully functioning desktop and mobile experience in under 9 months, through rapid iteration, close client collaboration, and a newly formed team, we proved Communify's ability to execute at pace in a competitive new market. As a beachhead product into the Mid-market advisory space, the Seven Post experience was subsequently productized and extended to advisory clients across the board, establishing Communify with a robust, scalable foundation for future engagements.
