Unifying an ecosystem into one platform
Helium is a decentralized network where users deploy hotspots and earn rewards for contributing coverage. I joined its small startup team as lead designer and unified a fragmented suite of products into a single, cohesive experience designed for everyday users, not just crypto enthusiasts.
Aligning on outcomes with stakeholders
Onboarding, monitoring, governance, and rewards each lived in separate tools, fragmented and crypto-native by default.
I worked closely with stakeholders to align on the desired product outcomes and ensure the work met Helium's broader goals.
One system, aligned with the brand
Helium World uses a unified system and visual style aligned with the marketing site, so every action feels consistent, approachable, and clearly part of the same product.
Actionable empty states
Instead of passive empty states, we used them to guide new users toward clear next steps, a direct, approachable path into Helium from the moment they land.
Mobile-first by default
Most users access Helium on mobile, so the platform was designed mobile-first rather than adapted from desktop. Core flows, onboarding a hotspot, splitting rewards with a partner, were built to work clearly on small screens.
A cohesive visual style
A consistent design language set the tone of the brand and unified the product, so every interaction felt native and connected rather than fragmented.
