I'm Francisco Melo — a Senior Product Designer working across Fintech, Web3, and AI.
I love the challenge of taking complex financial systems and making them feel simple and trustworthy. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to help design platforms like Levana Protocol, Zeal Wallet, and Fyde, focusing on environments where a clear, reliable UX really matters.
I enjoy bridging the gap between design and development, whether that means building practical design systems, exploring AI workflows, or coding full-stack passion projects like consciousportugal.com.
Design Systems & Architecture
Bridging design and code. I focus on building practical, atomic design systems. My goal is to make life easier for engineering teams, helping them ship faster and maintain consistency without the usual handoff friction.
High-Trust User Experience
Clarity in complexity. I enjoy the puzzle of translating dense on-chain data and TradFi mechanics into quiet, intuitive interfaces. I want users to navigate these platforms feeling confident, not overwhelmed.
AI & Prototyping
Beyond static screens. I like exploring how AI and modern stacks can improve the design process. By building functional prototypes, I try to give engineers a much clearer, production-ready starting point.
Teams I've collaborated with.
From emerging decentralized protocols to established financial institutions.
