I had the incredible opportunity to lead the design for the Reef ecosystem right from the start, dedicating three years to this project. During the DeFi boom, Reef made its mark in the top 50 on CoinMarketCap, thanks in part to our eye-catching and intuitive designs. I worked on everything from the logo to the pitchdeck presentation, website, web app, browser extension, and social media posts, always focusing on making the user experience smooth and engaging.

    From Design to Development

    Collaboration was key to our success. I worked closely with the CEO and the Lead Frontend Architect to ensure our vision came to life.

    In summary, my time at Reef was all about blending creativity, strategic thinking, and teamwork to deliver an outstanding DeFi experience. This approach not only helped Reef stand out in the competitive DeFi space but also ensured users had a smooth and enjoyable journey with decentralized finance.
