Background & Experience
I've been working as a Graphic Designer in Web3 since 2022. In this time, I've led the creation of brand identities for DePIN projects, DAO and community growth initiatives, and built their online presence through social media and community channels. Since early 2024, I've also been adopting the role of UX/UI Designer, contributing to fund allocation tools, DAO creation frameworks, urban governance methodologies, and DeFi products.
Currently, I am Community Lead at the Greenpill Dev Guild, where I design visuals that strengthen the Guild's presence and act as storytelling tools for its impact in the ecosystem. I create resources such as infographics and onboarding materials for the apps developed at the Guild. In addition, I contribute to the Greenpill Network by designing marketing assets including decks and merchandise.
My contributions to the Gardens platform will focus on enhancing the interface through improved visual design and interaction, ensuring consistency with the existing style while strengthening its presence and brand awareness across Web3 communities. I will also refine the user experience and support the development of new functionalities, making Gardens easier to adopt and helping communities grow with it.
Design Tools and Resources: Figma, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Procreate, ChatGPT, Design systems (Tailwind, Material), Jitter (Motion Graphics).
Methodologies: Design Thinking.
Both tools/resources and methodologies I plan to apply them to enhance the overall user experience of the platform. Design and visuals to bring more communities; improved user experience and new functionalites to really support communities needs and solve conflicts.
Specific Improvements & Approach
Recently, I proposed the Dark Mode for the Home Page, and the color scheme is now being implemented. The next steps in this area include updating the remaining screens and defining colors for elements such as error messages, hover states, disabled buttons, and other specific features.
In addition, a key operational task is the creation of a structured design file for the platform — consolidating components, text styles, and the full design system, all linked to the interfaces. This will streamline the workflow and make it more agile, both when designing new interfaces and during product development.
Collaboration & Timeline
I plan to collaborate with the existing Gardens development team by joining weekly syncs, staying active on Discord, and reviewing tasks on GitHub. These improvements will take place over the next few months, with an initial deadline set for GG24, covering all critical UI enhancements identified by the team. After that milestone, I will continue contributing to the following iterations.
Goals & Mission Alignment
My main goals for the Gardens Platform are:
- Delivering the necessary UI improvements to ensure the platform is ready for GG24.
- Strengthening brand awareness to help onboard more communities.
- Enhancing the platform so it can qualify for additional funding opportunities.
