Falcon Design System

Designing a finanical news app

Building a design system for CRMAs our company grew, the demand for multiple internal tools and platforms escalated rapidly. We found ourselves designing custom interfaces for various platforms, including web chats, WhatsApp integrations, and advisor portals. With the expansion of products and features, maintaining consistency across these platforms became increasingly challenging, leading to a sprawling and unmanageable user interface (UI) landscape.


To address this issue, we recognized the urgent need for a unified design language that could bring cohesion and manageability to our UI sprawl. However, implementing an official design system felt like a daunting task, as we grappled with the challenge of achieving consistency across platforms while still meeting specialized UI/UX requirements.

Branding

When designing the ditto logo, I wanted to create something simple yet interesting that centered around creative typography. I opted to use the golden ratio to guide the logo's proportions and spacing for maximum aesthetic harmony.

Cerapro became the font of choice for its clean yet distinctive letterforms. Arranging and adjusting the letters to intersect along the golden ratio lines, I formed an abstract monogram that subtly spells out "ditto". The graphics are understated, allowing the typography itself to shine as the logo's main design feature.

3D icons

Developing 3D icons was one of the innovative things we have done. We followed the guidelines from the Google Material Design, and I created these icons in Blender and rendered them using the Cycles rendering engine.
