My Role
Product design, branding, design system and web design. I worked as a leading designer, collaborating closely with the founder and team of developers.
The Challenge
Our challenge was to not only create a brand and marketing website that captured the essence of iLending's values and services but also address the client's specific requests for a green colour scheme, images as the primary visual component, and an overall professional and clean aesthetic.

While these requirements were certainly significant, we also faced another challenge - the client's uncertainty about the website's content, coupled with a shortage of personnel to write copy for the entire site.
The Solution
When approaching the logo ideation process for iLending, we began by compiling a list of relevant keywords and icons that accurately represented the company's values and services. From there, we created two initial logo options and presented them alongside a mood board to the client for feedback.

To add an extra dimension to the design, we incorporated a secondary colour, yellow, which served to complement the primary colour green and infuse the overall design with a sense of vibrancy and energy.

The Brand Identity
Our logo design for this project became the foundation for the entire brand system. The hexagon shape from the logo mark inspired the creation of unique graphical elements that were used to develop visually appealing compositions.
Website Design
For the website design, we utilized a strategic approach that began with comprehensive research and analysis. After developing a comprehensive site map that outlined all necessary website pages, we presented the client with several innovative ideas, including a dynamic slider banner on the homepage to showcase the latest promotions, an insightful page that educates SMEs on how iLending works, and a referral program to incentivize other SMEs.

By providing these suggestions, we were able to assist the client in creating a website that not only met their design expectations but also provided valuable content for their target audience. Our commitment to utilizing innovative solutions and effective collaboration with the client resulted in a successful and rewarding project outcome.
