→ Overview

Over five months I supported AKQA and Visa teams to shape and visualise product concepts powered by Visa’s capabilities, ranging from a consumer banking app to a B2B Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) idea and a Small Business portal. The work spanned discovery, UX/UI, motion and prototyping, with deliverables designed for pitch and stakeholder alignment.

  1. Mobile Banking App (B2C · FR & NL pitch):

    Scope: account overview, card controls, payments, P2P, spend insights.

    What I did: mapped key flows, built a compact design system, and produced an animated pitch narrative + Flinto prototype to demo the core journeys.

    Notes: designed with localisation in mind for French/Dutch markets and regulatory tone.


  2. Mobility-as-a-Service (B2B concept)

    Scope: how Visa could enable seamless mobility (discovery, journey planning, ticketing, payment).

    What I did: service blueprint, partner touchpoints, and UI concepts (fare capping, universal wallet, receipts), plus motion to show the end-to-end flow in minutes.


  3. Visa Small Business Portal (B2B/B2C)

    Scope: onboarding, benefits, rewards, and self-serve tools for SMEs.

    What I did: IA + page templates, component patterns for cards/tools, and content models to scale across segments and markets.


→ How I worked

→ How I worked

Pitch-ready storytelling: motion sequences and a tight animated deck to explain value fast.

Prototype to align: Flinto prototype for the mobile app; click-throughs for MaaS and SMB flows.

Systems first: a small, reusable UI kit (tokens, components, states) so teams could iterate quickly.

Close collaboration: day-to-day with AKQA art direction & strategy; Visa product/strategy stakeholders.


→ Outcomes

→ Outcomes

Clear narratives and prototypes that helped teams align on scope and feasibility.
