Design review
PNC Bank in Canada were creating a new website. While happy with the UX they felt the UI would not resonate with users. I was tasked with delivering a new direction.
I compared traditional banks to newer challenger banks, exploring more vibrant colours and looked at a different approach to illustration.

There was a lot of work to update in only a few weeks. I needed a strategy that delivered the highest impact, without redoing everything.
Key pages were prioritised for greatest impact. Then the larger scale of changes were made with efficient use of design system updates. Finally animation was added to core components and demonstrations were prototyped.
