Background
EukaPay is a crypto payments startup unlocking 300+ million crypto consumers by allowing businesses to accept crypto at point of sale and get paid in dollars. As Product Designer, I prototyped for web and mobile apps.
My Project
I spearheaded the design of EukaPay Maps, a merchant directory showcasing businesses across Canada that accept crypto. My goal was to improve discoverability of merchants and create a effortless browsing experience for consumers.

Increasing the discoverability of merchants that accept crypto
01 / Problem
Finding merchants that accept crypto is inefficient
A growing crypto consumer market calls for accessible browsing of places to spend crypto. My team spoke to EukaPay customers and based on their feedback, we uncovered the following pain points:
3 Main User Pain Points
Inefficient Searching
Researching and looking up merchants that accept crypto takes a long time
Locating and Obtaining Merchant Info
Process of finding merchant location details and business info is not streamlined
Lack of Customization
The merchant browsing experience is not customizable based on user's preferences

Learnings
Feedback is fuel & should be frequent
It is important to update my team on my design decisions so we can bounce off new ideas together. Frequent feedback ensures we are on the same page and allows me to constantly improve.​
Desktop -> Mobile
It is not reasonable to expect all design features on desktop to translate well on mobile! I enjoyed ideating design elements catered to only mobile screens.
Impact
My designs have been since 100% shipped and EukaPay Maps is continuously growing with more merchants accepting crypto with EukaPay each month. EukaPay is able to use EukaPay Maps as a sales tool by showcasing current merchant partners in a visually engaging and interactive way.
Sharing is caring (and necessary)
As a perfectionist at heart, I like to share my best work at completion, but I have learned to be comfortable with sharing my design work at all stages.
