CommandFi is revolutionizing the car loan industry with a user-centric platform that connects buyers to vetted lenders, offering transparent, personalized financing solutions. As Senior UX/UI Designer, I've been the driving force behind CommandFi's intuitive interface, crafting a seamless journey from loan search to approval. My role extends beyond design, encompassing branding, marketing, and content creation, as I work to transform the car buying experience. Through innovative features like our unique scan code system, we're eliminating hidden costs and predatory practices, empowering users to make informed decisions in minutes.
View Prototype on FigmaMy mission was to transform the opaque car loan industry into a realm of clarity and empowerment. I set out to craft an app that's not just user-friendly, but a financial education powerhouse. By designing intuitive interfaces and streamlining loan comparisons, I aimed to demystify the application process. The app serves as a guide, illuminating the path to informed decisions aligned with users' financial goals. Every design choice was a step towards boosting financial literacy, user engagement, and trust in an industry often shrouded in complexity. In essence, I wanted to hand users the keys to their financial future.
