OVERVIEW
Full product design and development of a peer-to-peer micro-lending platform. Designed onboarding flows, dashboard, and trust & safety systems.




THE PROBLEM
PocketLend was solving a genuinely important problem — making small loans accessible to people underserved by traditional banking — but their product had a trust problem. Financial products live and die on perceived credibility, and PocketLend's early interface communicated startup scrappiness rather than financial security. User drop-off during onboarding was over 60%.




THE SOLUTION
We redesigned the onboarding flow from scratch based on drop-off data and qualitative interviews with users who had abandoned the process. Trust signals were introduced progressively — security badges, plain-language explanations of how data was used, and social proof from existing borrowers — at precisely the moments users were most likely to hesitate. The dashboard was rebuilt around financial clarity rather than product features.
