Straumur
Kvika payment processing platform
Problem
Financial products demand trust, clarity, and reliability. Merchant flows span onboarding, service portals, and operational tooling — each with different user mental models but one brand system.
Approach
I treated each flow as part of a coherent product language: strong hierarchy, restrained motion, and frontend patterns that made complex payment concepts scannable for non-technical merchants.
Results
Delivered production frontend work for a regulated payment platform used at national scale — balancing compliance-minded UX with modern React architecture.
