Advance Intelligence Group set out to create a new digital bank in the Philippines — a modern platform designed to expand access to financial services.
At Vacuumlabs, I joined a multidisciplinary team of eight squads working to design and launch a full-service bank in under 12 months.

We aimed to design a digital bank that could compete with established institutions while remaining approachable and intuitive for new users.
The challenge was to simplify complex financial products — from loans to onboarding — into an experience that feels seamless and trustworthy.

We began with user research and market discovery to understand local needs and behaviors.
Each squad owned a specific part of the bank — from payments to cards — ensuring cohesion across the product ecosystem.
Design and engineering worked iteratively, with prototypes tested continuously to inform design decisions.

I focused on user journeys for card management, loan products, and onboarding flows.
I mentored junior designers, built prototypes, and collaborated with PMs and developers to align user experience with business goals.

In less than a year, we launched a full digital banking suite — a customer mobile app and an internal web platform — forming the foundation of a new, full-service bank in the Philippines.

• Designed key user flows for cards, loans, and onboarding
• Mentored junior designers on the project
• Created prototypes for user validation and research
