Process
Step 1 : Understanding the requirements
Why was a redesign required?
With three different sources of funds, it would be easier for the customers if they could access all of them at one single place within the dashboard.
What are the different sources of funds
Analyzing existing accounts page
Step 2: Brainstorming and Quick Dirty Prototypes (QDPs)
What I did : Once the requirements were clear, I started creating pen paper based UIs showing different versions of the funds page, so that I can share it with my design manager and get an early feedback.
Step 3: High-fidelity Iterations

Learnings
Project management - Setting the right expectations and managing multiple projects at the same time
At first, I struggled to estimate design delivery time. With time and proper feedback from my manager, I improved by:
Prioritizing tasks and saying NO when needed.
Sharing early to reduce waste and ensure alignment.
Communicating delays upfront.
Under-committing and over-delivering.
Prototyping skills and attention to details
I was forced outside of my comfort zone when requested to build completely detailed prototypes with interactions for each aspect. I had never built prototypes with that degree of detail. As a result, I improved at prototyping, paying attention to the details, and used Figma for prototyping.
