Executive Summary

As lead UX designer at a telecom fintech company, I designed a scalable admin dashboard for a digital wallet, streamlining user management, transaction oversight, and bank integration. By resolving stakeholder conflicts over risky database reporting, I delivered a secure platform that reduced task times by 25%, improved data accuracy by 30%, and accelerated bank onboarding by 40%. These enterprise-grade design principles translate to consumer mobile apps, ensuring scalable, user-centric UX across platforms.

How Might We (HMW) Statement

How Might We design a unified, scalable admin dashboard that eliminates risky database queries, streamlines user management, and supports enterprise growth while balancing compliance security needs with operational efficiency?

Who is this product for?

Telecom | Fintech industry, an admin-facing dashboard for a digital wallet, used by admins, compliance analysts, and partner bank managers to efficiently manage operations and transactions.

Problem Statement and Goals

Problem

The digital wallet’s growth caused inefficient workflows. The legacy dashboard showed only the last 10 transactions, forcing clients to use risky database-level queries with date-based filters, prone to production errors. Compliance teams demanded secure, granular controls to mitigate risks, while operations teams prioritized faster reporting, creating stakeholder conflicts.

The platform needed a unified interface to:

  • Streamline role-based user provisioning

  • Provide secure, real-time transaction insights

  • Simplify partner bank integration

  • Support enterprise scalability

My Role

As UX/UI Designer (Feature Lead), I drove end-to-end UX for User Management, Transaction Reporting, and Bank Integration, handling:

  • Stakeholder workshops to resolve conflicts

  • Scalable IA design

  • Prototyping in Figma and Sketch

  • Engineering collaboration for feasibility

  • Accessibility and role-based usability

Design Process

Discovery & Research

Conducted interviews with admins, compliance, and bank teams to map pain points and align on priorities.

Findings: Manual database queries risked production errors; limited dashboard views (last 10 transactions) hindered reporting; inconsistent bank onboarding slowed operations..

Conflict: Compliance insisted on restricted data access to mitigate risks, while operations pushed for faster, less restricted reporting tools.

Insight: Tailored interfaces per user role, unified by a secure IA, could balance speed, safety, and scalability.

Synthesis & Ideation

Mediated workshops to design a modular IA in Miro, prioritizing:

Role-based access for security and clarity

Tabbed transaction dashboard with real-time filters

Bank integration wizard for efficiency

User Story Map

This map outlines user goals, pain points, opportunities, and proposed features, aligning design with user needs and business objectives.

Prototyping & Testing

Built wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes in Figma with a componentized design system. Conducted usability tests over two sprints.

Decisions: Used progressive disclosure, standardized role templates, and added custom report filters to eliminate database queries.

Learnings: Bulk actions and status indicators resolved stakeholder concerns.

Delivery

Collaborated with developers on responsive specs, conducted design QA, and delivered a handoff package with interaction states and accessibility notes.
