Usual

Brand, product design, design system, website

Decentralised dollar stablecoin backed by US Treasuries, yield shared with users. 2022 to 2025.

Situation

They came with a logo and three founders.

Ask

First the brand, built fast because the investor deck needed it.

Turn

The deck worked, and they kept us: for almost a year I designed the platform with Adli, one of the founders, and engineering built it screen for screen. When Allan Floury joined as VP of product design, I became his design partner: UX, UI, design system, plus the illustrations and animation I did myself.

Result

Through all that, Usual went from a deck to over a billion dollars locked.

I stepped away in 2025 for paternity leave.
