Finance, Commodities & Trading

Finance is information under pressure, and information is a design problem.

Money moves on data, and the people who move it live inside dense, high-stakes interfaces where a moment’s confusion has a price. My work here runs from the trading desk to the consumer’s pocket.

Vitol

For Vitol, one of the world’s largest commodities traders, I joined as the sole product designer and turned thirteen disconnected internal apps into one coherent operating system. I unified the navigation and identity, built a supported design-system foundation, then delivered Detail Workspace: a single configurable platform where the company’s apps share the same data and live in one screen. In effect, Vitol’s own Bloomberg-class terminal, built on its own design system and its own data.

Kaldi

At the other end, Kaldi, a Gen-Z fintech that invests your spare change. I created the brand identity, app concept and investor pitch deck, walking the line between energetic and trustworthy, which helped the team raise a $513K seed round.

In between sits private wealth: a concept app for Royal Bank of Canada’s high-net-worth clients that brought a full portfolio (fixed income, equities, hedge funds, cash, trust and art) into one richly visual, motion-led view, alongside bank news, a direct line to the wealth team and a meetings calendar. Built as a proof of concept for RBC’s R&D team.

Whether it’s a trading floor or a first-time investor, the discipline is the same: organise the density, earn the trust, and make the complicated feel calm.
