OVERVIEW


During the Fall semester of 2022, I worked as a UI/UX design intern at Studio Simpatico, a user-focused product design company. I collaborated with the designers, PMs, and developers to redesign a live financial editorial hub, Slickdeals Money from the parent brand Slickdeals.

Goal
Considering CMS (Content Management System) to build a robust personal finance content platform for Slickdeals Money, we extended the Slickdeals brand into an editor-friendly custom WordPress theme, with a visual design system unique to Slickdeals Money, but in sync with the parent brand Slickdeals.
