Finance with a clearer path.

I led experience strategy for Emkan’s native app relaunch, connecting customer research, onboarding and lending journeys to a reusable design system and implementation handoffs.

A financially important journey, at app scale

The engagement covered iOS and Android experiences serving more than 500,000 users. I worked as a Senior CX Consultant on a remote, part-time contract.

My contribution connected the experience strategy to onboarding, lending journeys, customer co-creation, iterative prototypes and developer collaboration. I also presented the direction to C-level executives.

Confirmed career profile: Emkan engagement.

Research and iteration informed the relaunch

  1. Understand the customer experience

    The career record documents customer research and co-creation as inputs to the experience strategy.

    Output: Experience direction for onboarding and lending.

  2. Make the journey reviewable

    Iterative prototypes translated the direction into interactions that customers and stakeholders could evaluate.

    Output: Refined prototypes and a coherent native-app experience.

  3. Test and measure

    Usability testing and A/B testing are recorded alongside the measurement framework.

    Output: A way to assess the experience rather than relying only on visual preference.

  4. Carry the design through implementation

    Developer collaboration and design handoffs connected the experience work to the relaunch.

    Output: Specifications and reusable design-system support.

The recovered artifacts do not include participant counts, experiment designs or research transcripts. No interview quote or test-result detail is invented.

Career profile: research, co-creation, prototyping, testing and implementation.

Make product choice visible before application

The financing-calculator design shows how an abstract lending proposition becomes a concrete interaction.

Design detail visible in the artifactExperience purpose
Product options with eligibility labelsHelp the customer distinguish available financing products.
Monthly instalment and rate displayPlace the consequence of a financing choice near the inputs.
Salary, tenure and age with sliders and editable valuesAllow exploration while retaining a precise value entry.
Sector, existing instalments and bank-relationship questionsExpose the information needed by the proposed calculation.
Calculate, reset and application actionsSupport adjustment and an understandable next step.

This is an archived design with prototype values. Its eligibility states and financial figures are not lending advice, approved policy or evidence of a working calculation engine.

Orientation, verification and recovery are one service

The original interface file makes several consequential moments visible beyond the first onboarding screen.

  1. Orient before registration

    Arabic/English language choice leads to a skippable introduction. The screens connect financing with education, home and personal needs, then offer a clear start action.

    Output: A chosen language and an understandable product proposition.

  2. Separate contact and identity verification

    Registration includes distinct mobile-code and Absher verification states. The Absher step explains the purpose of the code and exposes confirm and resend actions.

    Output: A visible identity step with a retry route.

  3. Explain a blocked sign-in

    The account-lock state gives a reason for the block and offers Reset Password or Cancel. Related states in the file cover password and mobile-number updates with success feedback.

    Output: A recovery action rather than an unexplained failure.

These are archived interface states with empty or placeholder values. They establish design intent, not implementation, current security policy or verified conversion improvement.

A reusable design system supported delivery

I established the measurement framework and design system alongside the relaunch work. Reusable components and implementation collaboration connected consistency in the interface to consistency in delivery.

The reported development-time reduction belongs to the wider team’s design-system work. The available record does not establish a component count, governance cadence or a measured reduction for an individual component.

These results are reported in my career record for the engagement. The measurement windows and calculation methods are not included in the available artifacts. They represent the broader team’s product results, with my contribution in CX strategy, journeys and the design system.

An experience becomes stronger when research, interface craft and delivery consistency reinforce each other.
