Role: UI designer
Toolkit: Figma, Tailwind CSS, HTML
Background: This project is part of my journey toward earning a Certificate in UI Design, where I aim to expand my skills in crafting intuitive and visually compelling digital experiences.
Project Overview
SolBank is a fictional challenger bank designed to disrupt traditional financial institutions with a seamless, user-friendly digital experience. The brand’s core values—playful, clear, and trustworthy—guided the design process, ensuring that the interface is both engaging and reliable while maintaining a high level of usability.
Brand Identity
SolBank draws inspiration from my Peruvian heritage and the country’s currency, 'Soles,' which originates from the Spanish word for 'sun' and is deeply rooted in Incan history.
The Inca civilization worshiped Inti, the sun god, as their most powerful deity, believing he brought life, prosperity, and strength to their empire. Gold, often called the 'tears of the sun,' was sacred to the Incas, symbolizing divine power and wealth.
These historical influences shape SolBank’s identity—its golden-yellow hues not only reflect the brilliance of the sun but also evoke the opulence of Incan gold artifacts, once used to adorn temples and honor their gods. Through this connection, the brand embodies a legacy of strength, prosperity, and innovation, blending history with modern financial empowerment.
