Aquis - App Design
Creating cohesion in data visualisation via a unified design system
-
Aquis Exchange identified a need to enhance its digital toolkit with a suite of desktop applications tailored to diverse business operations: a client portal, a database editor, and an institutional trading platform. The primary challenge was to design these applications in a way that not only addressed specific functional needs but also maintained a consistent user experience and visual identity across the suite.
-
This was a series of solo UX and UI design projects, each focusing on designing a bespoke desktop application. Each project was carried out with the holistic view to converge on a centralised design framework that could be agnostically applied to the use case.

The completion of these UX/UI design projects significantly streamlined Aquis Exchange's business processes. The bespoke design library in Figma enabled a rapid, consistent design approach across all applications, reducing development time and ensuring a uniform user experience. By interfacing with client-facing and technical teams, the project ensured that the applications were not only accessible but also met the high-quality standards required for trading platforms.
