Scope

NFTime had a real product and a real community but the platform was working against both. The visual design had aged poorly, and key flows like buying, offers,placing NFT were hard to follow for anyone who wasn't already deep in crypto.


As a designer, I rebuilt the experience from the ground up: a new visual language, simplified core flows, and two entirely new features - NFT generation and staking.

My role

Full redesign + new features
