Year

2020- present

Tangem is a new smart card technology based on a breakthrough in microelectronics, achieved after over a decade of research and development in microchip technology. The technology allows you to store and carry cryptocurrencies on physical plastic cards. Tangem Cards are hardware wallets that work with NFC-enabled phones.

I'm leading the designs for all of Tangem's platforms, mostly focusing on the mobile product design, card designs and design systems - creating a product that is distinguishable, usable and effective. Advocating for simplicity and an easy user experience, to make crypto and digital transactions more human.

Tangem app

Working closely together with the Head of Mobile Development, we have re-designed the old app with new key features, striving to make it as user friendly and accessible as possible. I created design systems based on HIG and Material Designs, while keeping the look and feel intact on all devices.

Product

A Tangem Card is a highly secure hardware cold wallet made to store any kind of digital assets / cryptocurrency / Bitcoin on blockchain technology. It's a durable plastic card with a chip that holds the funds and the private key. The chip has the NFC antenna that allows the user to check the balance and transfer their funds with an NFC-enabled phone.

I'm responsible for the Tangem card designs and packaging. All in all Tangem has designed and produced over 50+ different cards (exclusively for Tangem and for collaborating customers).

Branding, Visual Identity

I created design systems and branding guidelines in Figma to use across Tangem platforms in order to keep brand consistency and allow developers to inspect files, grab code snippets, and export assets. It has also made it easy to publish regular updates: Refine components, styles, and assets.

I have been working closely with our Marketing Specialist on visulas and designs for social media and marketing to promote the company and increase engagement.
