Firstrade Securities UX Designer and Illustrator
What
I am a UX Designer and Illustrator at Firstrade Securities, a stock brokerage firm and broker-dealer headquartered in New York.
Contributions
As a UX Designer and Illustrator at Firstrade Securities, I integrate my healthcare background into product design, prioritizing accessibility and education. During my time at Firstrade, I established a cohesive brand image across mobile and web designs and social media platforms. My expertise extends to comprehensive market research, allowing me to tailor designs that align with brand values and consumer preferences.
FirstradeGPT
For FirstradeGPT, our team focused on designing an intuitive AI-driven stock-trading assistant that simplified complex financial decisions. The challenge was balancing accessibility for novice investors with advanced features for seasoned traders. We created modular flows, adjusting to users' expertise levels, and focused on clean, minimalist design to prevent information overload.
Iterating on prototypes, we refined the conversational UI and data visualizations to enhance clarity and usability. The result was a seamless, personalized experience that boosted user confidence and engagement.
Social Media Graphics
The social media graphics I designed were created to strengthen brand presence and engage diverse audiences. Each post was tailored to reflect the brand’s core values while keeping inclusivity and accessibility at the forefront. Users could interact with the content through eye-catching visuals and clear messaging, making the posts not only engaging but also memorable.
Fractional Share Trading
Goal: Make stock/ETF trading more financially accessible. Our team proposed integrating fractional share trading to the Firstrade platform, which allows traders to own pieces of a stock with as little as $5.
Mobile App Intro Screens
My first task at Firstrade was to design the introduction screens for the mobile app.
