Projects

Loan Payment Schedule Builder

A Payment schedule builder that allows lenders to create more accurate payment schedules in less time. Context: Presta is an early stage start up creating end-to-end lending software for community based lenders. Currently lenders manually copy/paste data across many software tools during the lending process which leads to typos and wasted time. This case study is about how we enabled data to auto-flow in and out of payment schedules to reduce copy/pasting and increase accuracy. Impact: -> Saves time and increases data accuracy for customers with pre-populated fields -> Enabled sales team to advertise this desired feature, leading to a more robust pipeline -> Exceeded customer expectations based on user feedback -> Systematic thinking allowed us to use this feature again in servicing Dates: Q3 2023, 2 Months Role: UX/UI Designer, UX Researcher Stakeholders: Product(Co-founder), Sales (Co-founder), Engineers, Customers Tools: Figma, FigJam, Google Drive, Google MeetSee More
