Project Overview

Halcyon is a predictive financial advisory intelligence platform used by wealth management firms to surface real-time risk and revenue opportunities. The strategic UX/UI overhaul streamlined the advisor experience across signal detection, prioritization, and action workflows, while scaling a unified design system and governance standards to support explainable analytics, faster delivery, and firm-wide adoption.

Challenge
The core challenge for Halcyon was to turn complex financial data and predictive modeling into an experience advisors would trust and actually use. Firms needed a secure, intuitive platform that explains risk and opportunity in clear terms, guides advisors toward the right client conversations, and fits naturally into existing portfolio review and revenue workflows.

Solution

The solution was a user-centered redesign of Halcyon’s core dashboard and insights engine, grounded in real advisor workflows and firm requirements. We simplified complex portfolio data into clear, prioritized signals, mapped the journey from detection to advisor action, and built a scalable design system to ensure consistency across teams and client environments. This gave Halcyon a sharper product narrative, a more confident experience for advisors and managers, and a stronger foundation for scaling predictive analytics, revenue attribution, and firm-wide adoption.

UX Strategy Roadmap

This UX strategy roadmap shows how I kept Halcyon moving from insight to shipped outcomes without losing alignment. It begins with research, combining UX audits, stakeholder interviews, and workflow analysis to define the real problems behind opaque signals, slow prioritization, and fragmented advisor tools. From there, the work moves into UX design, where I map the insight hierarchy, information architecture, and advisor journeys from detection to action. These flows are translated into wireframes and usability validation to ensure signal clarity, prioritization logic, and revenue attribution are sound before investing in visual polish.

Once the structure is solid, I guide UI design through prototypes, visual systems, and a scalable design system that standardizes dashboards, signal states, and interaction patterns across teams. Implementation emphasizes clean handoff, governance, and explainability standards so predictive insights remain transparent and audit-ready. Post-launch, we close the loop with adoption data and revenue impact signals, feeding learnings back into the next cycle to continuously improve clarity, trust, and time to action.

The design philosophy centers on transparent, explainable intelligence that empowers advisors to act with confidence and control.

The finalized Halcyon interface brings the design system to life, translating structure, transparency, and control into a cohesive advisory experience that guides users from signal detection to confident client action.

By redesigning the platform around explainable scoring, consistent data patterns, and governance-first standards, we reduced ambiguity and increased advisor trust at the moment of decision, strengthening both firm adoption and Halcyon’s ability to scale predictive intelligence responsibly.
