Role: Lead UX/UI Designer
Duration: 2 weeks
Tools used: Figma, Media Modifier
Editing your profile's information shouldn't be difficult. Keeping Nielsen's 10 Usability Heuristics and WCAG standards in mind, I designed a user profile editing flow that's meant to be simple and easy to use.

Following WCAG guidelines, the typography and colors were chosen for contrast and legibility. I added icons for each category to make them scannable. Field labels were purposely placed above the input field rather than inside for ease of recognition.

Out of the 10 Design Heuristics, I strongly prioritized user control, minimalist design, and recognition over recall. I believe they're critical to maintaining a great user experience when handling sensitive account information.
