During my year in Oval, I work on different projects that are not purely related to application design. The projects I was part of starting from the user interface, user experience, branding, prototyping, Oval Card and end with the creation of material for marketing and events related to the world of Oval.

First of all, in my first months, I have always worked closely with the design team at the Oval rebranding, then in what Oval was to be in its near future through mind-mapping, official proposal presented to the board and production of related materials.

The first project I got my hands on was the investing part for Oval 4.0, starting from the wireframes I created the entire UI with the support of the design department.

Working in a new organization based on squads, mine, in particular, had the task of managing the entire Oval 5.0 onboarding phase now present in all stores and also the launch of the Fixed Rate product.

I also worked on the visual part of the new site now online.
