Trading platform · 2025–2026
Optimal is a prop firm. Traders buy a challenge, trade a funded account and keep most of the profit, as long as they follow the rules. I designed the platform they use every day, and the design system behind it.

01The problem
Every challenge has a profit target, a daily loss limit, a max loss limit and a minimum number of trading days. Break one and the account is gone. Most platforms list these rules in a table, so traders find out they failed after it already happened.
That's a frustrating way to lose, and it's the moment most traders walk away for good.
02The goal
Show where a trader stands on every rule, before it's too late.
Make progress feel real, so traders come back every day.
Give the business clear places to sell add-ons, without getting in the way of trading.
03The work
The home screen opens with a short AI market recap and the trader's live challenges. One clear action: start a new challenge. Below it, everything about the current challenge, from today's loss limit to performance, on one page.

Each rule shows its limit, where the trader is now and a status: Passing, At risk or Failed. Charts draw the limit as a line, so you can see how close you are. When a rule blocks something, the add-on that unlocks it sits right there.


Win rate, profit and loss, and a heatmap of the hours you trade best. Built to answer two questions: am I getting better, and when should I trade?



One chart, three views: best hours, weekly win rate and balance.
Pick an account size, a plan and add-ons. The price updates as you go, so there are no surprises at checkout.

An economic calendar with impact and country filters, plus market news and analysis, right inside the platform. Fewer reasons to leave.




Profile and security on one page, split by a simple pill menu.


04The system
I built the parts once: status pills, rule cards, stat rows, charts, filters, tabs and form fields. The same library now runs three platforms and more than five landing pages, so new screens ship faster and always look like they belong.
#0E1925#132234#0C3250#2197ED#43F5E4#F0202005Looking back
The rule cards did the heavy lifting: traders can see trouble coming instead of reading about it afterwards. Next, I'd add alerts before a limit is hit, by push and email, so traders can act even when the platform is closed.
Mobile app · 2024–2025
Companies make money from your data every day, and you get nothing back. FUTR flips that deal. You choose what to share through short quests, earn FUTR tokens for it, and spend them on real things like insurance. I designed the app end to end, from the first splash screen to the wallet.



01The problem
Apps and companies collect personal data all the time and turn it into profit. The people it belongs to rarely know what was taken, and never see anything in return.
FUTR wanted to change the deal: pay people for their data. But asking someone to upload an insurance policy is a trust decision. They need to know what you take, what you keep and exactly what they get back.
02The goal
Make the deal clear from the first screen: share data, earn tokens.
Show every data point before it is shared, and let people choose.
Give data back as something useful: a clear view of your ID, car, home and money.
Turn rewards into something you can watch grow, and spend on real things.
03The work
The first thing people see is the trade itself: earn FUTR for your data, choose what to share, and use your earnings for insurance and more. A 3D guide carries the story, and later shows up across the app.



Sign in and the home screen tells you what to do next. Your AI guide, your categories with live progress, open quests, recent documents and a streak that pays extra tokens.



Me, Automotive, Households, Personal finance and Subscriptions. Each category turns its documents into something useful: an ID with an expiry countdown, a car's insurance and maintenance, a home's value, a money health score, every subscription and when it bills next.





Empty fields aren't dead ends. Each one shows the quest that fills it and the tokens it pays, so an empty profile becomes a to-do list.



Earning starts with small quests: upload a document, answer a few questions. Each one shows the reward up front and a progress bar while you go.




After upload, AI pulls out the data points. Each one is tagged as monetized or not. Personal details are masked automatically, and financial data shows exactly when it will be deleted. The reward updates as you choose what to share.

The more you share, the better the offers. The guide picks deals that fit your data, and every offer shows the tokens it costs.

Every offer shows what’s included and two prices: tokens in the app, or the full price on the company’s site. Pay with tokens, cash or a mix of both. Cash payments come with bank details and a receipt upload, so nothing gets stuck.






Documents live in a vault. On upload, AI suggests a category and tags, and people can edit them before saving.




Balance over time, swap and withdraw, and every asset in one list.

04The system
A black and volt palette that makes every reward pop, soft 3D renders for each category, and an AI guide that gives the app a face. The dot grid used for data points became the app's signature: you watch your share fill in, dot by dot.
#111111#E8FF28#FF5806#E5E5E5#FFFFFF05Looking back
Showing data points one by one made the trade feel fair, and locked fields turned an empty profile into a reason to come back. Next, I'd add a simple history of what was shared and earned, so people can revisit their choices any time.

AI legal platform · 2025–2026
Most people in Lebanon can't get a straight legal answer without paying for a lawyer first. AskLex is an AI assistant that answers legal questions from verified Lebanese law, turns them into step-by-step checklists, and connects people with a lawyer when they need one. I designed the product end to end.

01The problem
Starting a company, hiring someone or signing a contract in Lebanon means digging through laws written for lawyers. Online answers are vague and rarely cite a source. Most people either guess or pay for a consultation just to learn where to start.
02The goal
Give clear answers in plain words, every one backed by a real source.
Turn an answer into steps people can follow and track.
Hand off to a real lawyer the moment AI is not enough.
03The work
Lex greets you by name and asks one thing: what can I help you with? Two shortcuts sit above the input, and suggested prompts below it cover what most people come for: registering a company, a contract template, hiring legally. (That's the screen at the top of this page.)
Legal answers are useless if you can't trust them. Each reply carries a source tag. Tap it and the exact article opens next to the answer, so you can check it yourself.

When an answer misses, a thumbs down opens quick reasons: not accurate, confusing, missing a legal source, not relevant. People tell Lex what went wrong without writing an essay.

Legal steps are long and easy to lose track of. Lex turns them into a personal checklist for your goal and country. Each guide shows its progress, and every step can be ticked, edited or added.



A checklist, and adding your own step without leaving it.
Some things need a human. The directory filters verified lawyers by jurisdiction, practice area, language and hourly price, so people can compare before they reach out.

One plain page covers everything Lex does: answers, checklists, documents, lawyers and billing. Pricing keeps to three clear plans with the middle one highlighted.


The sign-in screens double as a pitch. While people create an account, the left side reminds them what they get: ask a question, generate documents, build a checklist, find a lawyer.



04The system
Legal products usually look cold. AskLex uses a deep wine colour for trust, a warm paper yellow for Lex's tips, and a handwritten “Lex” in the logo that gives the AI a human signature. Rounded type keeps dense legal text easy to read.
#6A1F2B#EFE3E5#FFF9E9#111111#F7F7F705Looking back
Showing the source next to every answer did the most for trust. Next, I'd let people save a checklist step straight from the chat, and add an Arabic interface so the product speaks the same language as the law it explains.
