Designing a portfolio

Designing a portfolio

Aviera is a financial dashboard concept focused on helping small business teams better understand spending activity and everyday financial workflows. The redesign explored how clearer hierarchy, improved transaction visibility, and more structured layouts could reduce friction across the platform.

The Impact

The redesign focused on improving clarity through better hierarchy, cleaner spacing, and more visible transaction details.

Understanding financial activity felt unnecessarily difficult

The existing dashboard contained large amounts of financial data, but weak hierarchy and dense layouts made balances, transactions, and actions harder to interpret during everyday use.

Looking beyond the numbers

I reviewed financial workflows and conducted interviews with people regularly managing transactions, balances, and payment activity. The research focused on how users scanned information, interpreted context, and navigated everyday tasks.

“Most of the time, I understood the numbers — I just didn’t understand what needed my attention first.”

Exploring interface directions

I explored multiple layout directions focused on balance visibility, transaction context, and workflow clarity. Each concept tested different approaches to grouping information, simplifying navigation, and helping users scan important details faster.

Making complex workflows feel clear

The final redesign used stronger hierarchy, predictable layouts, and contextual feedback so balances were easier to compare, actions were easier to find, and activity flows were easier to understand at a glance.

Designing for clarity, confidence, and everyday workflows

This project reinforced how strongly confidence is shaped by interface clarity rather than domain complexity. Small choices in grouping, spacing, and action placement can change how people interpret information and move forward.
