Designing the Brand Systems That Power Crypto’s Frontlines

When the products are built to move billions — the UI can’t just look good. It has to move like a machine. And feel like a story.

This case study is a glimpse into the brand systems I built from scratch for three products operating at the edge of crypto and automation:

  • Tether’s Bitkit Wallet

  • Biconomy’s AI Agent Nomy

  • Igris – A multichain execution bot


🧠 Biconomy’s Nomy — Design for an Autonomous Agent

Biconomy was launching Nomy, an AI-powered DeFi assistant.

The product was powerful.

The problem? There was no design layer to match the intelligence.

In this example, we’re implementing three key optimizations:

What I Built

  • From zero to design system — with Figma tokens, typography scale, and dark-mode native components

  • Atomic components + smart variants for instant reuse

  • UX that felt like command-line precision with cinematic clarity

📸 Screenshots on page 2 show a zero-friction chat-like interface layered over wallet insights, intent parsing, and swap execution.

The vibe?

“Feels like you’re talking to your portfolio.”

Not a dashboard.

A co-pilot.

🧰 Tether – Designing Bitkit from Scratch

Tether needed a UI for their new wallet — Bitkit — designed for privacy, speed, and real-world payments.

This wasn’t just about UI.

It was about brand gravity.

How do you design a wallet that speaks to both crypto-maxis and new users?

  • Designed wallet views, transaction explorer, and modals with deliberate spacing logic

  • Optimized every decision for mobile-first clarity and tap feedback

  • Built an onboarding flow that feels minimal, but dense with power


⚔️ Igris — Branding a Warrior, Not Just a Bot

Igris isn’t just a multichain execution tool.

It’s an AI warrior that helps users swap, bridge, and execute DeFi flows — faster than most people can think.


What I Crafted

  • Full brand identity inspired by Solo Leveling aesthetics

  • Dark, crimson, glow-stroked visual system

  • Hero image and UI that felt alive — like a bot that could fight for you

  • Modular typography scale (page 5) to support both HUD-style data views and narrative headlines

Igris wasn’t built to look clean.

It was built to feel powerful.

🧱 Behind the Scenes: The Design System

Across all three products, I built systems that:

  • Used unified spacing scales

  • Employed reusable text+color tokens with names like black-950, glow-stroke, element-bg

  • Let engineering teams ship fast and stay consistent

  • Looked like design. Worked like code.


🧘 Final Thought

Designing UI for crypto infra isn’t about gradients or glassmorphism.

It’s about:

  • Building trust in milliseconds

  • Showing power without overwhelming

  • Giving users the sense that the interface knows what they’re trying to do

And then — getting out of the way.

If your product moves fast and needs a brand that doesn’t break at speed —
