Hello there 👋🏽,

I’m Joshua Navi, a product and visual designer

I'm  passionate about innovating delightful digital experiences while intelligently and meaningfully solving real problems via my multi-disciplinary craft.

I love working with creative people that can bring strong critique as well as laugh at the latest meme.

My days are lived in research, paper sketches, flows, wireframes, mockups, wiki pages, and test results.

Here's a collection of things I have been building/doing in the past months.

Panion is a community management platform built to redefine the professional community experience.

While at Panion, I created the first version of their component-based design system and worked on designing new and refining old features for the web, iOS and Android applications.

Features and areas I worked on include but not limited to: Events, Onboarding flow, Admin settings, Member profile, Member area, Social profiles, Community about page.

At Panion, I had the opportunity of designing and shipping a remarkable experience in many areas of the product. I worked closely with other designers and developers while under the leadership of the Head of Product.

You can check out Panion at panion.com or on the App and Play store.

Below, I've included select screens from some of the features I worked on.

Credity is a P2P lending platform built to solve the challenges associated with individual lending in Africa.

Credity was initiated to change how accountability was accessed in a relationship-based lending process. The goal was to build a product that could be easily understood and used by any individual looking to borrow from or lend a peer (friend or a relative).

The platform offered three unique features:

1. Legal accountability: The terms on every loan on the platform are legally binding.  This measure was put in place to remove "peer or kin" familiarity from the process.

2. Fair market: All stakeholders (except the borrower) have a fair profit on the loan instalments. The borrower also had the ability to renegotiate interest rates with the lender.

3. Fast and seamless: From loan requests, to negotiations, to agreements, disbursements and   payments, the system is automated using the parameters (loan terms) agreed on by both parties (lender and borrower).

I was the lead product designer on the team and worked alongside two other designers. I designed the brand identity and brand guidelines, designed the website, wrote copy, and designed the component library.

Landing, sign up and login page

Component library & web style guide

A component library and style guide for web were created ensure consistency across the platform when development started.

Agile Delivery is a decentralised delivery platform in the UK.

I worked with a sprint team where I was the sole designer and was tasked with designing the product (desktop + mobile app).

I had an amazing time working on this project because of the intensive research and testing I had to do.

One of the guiding design goals was to create a product interface that is user friendly, seamless and had a functional user experience. Below, you’ll see some main pages of the product and a bunch of its components.

Landing page

The approach

One of the constraints that came with this project was time and following this, I suggested the jobs-to-be-done framework to the team. The client had an idea of what they wanted but I figured that if we focused solely on the product, we'd never build a product that is useable.

JTBD is a pretty interesting way to build products based on understanding both the customer’s specific goal, or “job,” and the thought processes that would lead that customer to use a product to achieve the goal or get the job done. This framework is an attempt to discover precisely what users are actually trying to accomplish or achieve when they buy/use a product or service.

Next line of action was drawing up a survey that fit the personas we we're building for. I then asked the team and client to source for customers (who were mostly small business owners) and couriers in the London area, to learn about their struggles, dissatisfaction and what they'd like to see in a product like this.

App4Sport is a sports organising and tracking platform for schools and individual/private trainers/coaches.

This was a short project and I was the only designer on the team.
I had an amazing time working on this project because of the intensive research and testing I had to do.
The main goal of this project was to design a landing page that captures a visitor's attention and drives them to the registration page. App4Sport’s dashboard UI was also redesigned and new set of icons, developed.
