SIASTES MOBILE APP
Fintech careers, news and community for underrepresented talent.
BACKGROUND & CONTEXT
Fintech professionals in Africa, the Middle East and other underrepresented regions had no mobile-first place to find roles, follow the industry and meet peers.
TARGET USERS
Fintech and blockchain professionals in emerging markets
THE GOAL
Put jobs, industry news and community in one app built for these regions.
MY PROCESS
- Market research
- flows
- wireframes
- UI
- theming
- prototype
KEY DECISIONS
- Skill-matched job listings instead of an open search feed
- Light and dark themes built from one token set
- News and community sit alongside jobs, not behind them
THE SOLUTION
One app combining skill-matched job listings, curated blockchain and fintech news, and a professional community — delivered in complete light and dark themes.
KEY FEATURES
- Skill-matched job listings
- Curated industry news
- Community & networking
- Full light/dark theming
- Profile & applications
DESIGN SYSTEM & ACCESSIBILITY
Dual-theme token system — every colour, surface and state defined once, then mapped across light and dark. Both themes were built to hold the same text contrast ratio, not just to invert.
OUTCOME
A 70-screen product delivered twice over inside a four-week express timeline.
BY THE NUMBERS
70 screens delivered in 2 complete themes (140 total) in a 4-week express build
What I learned
Building the theme system before the screens saved doubling the work later.
