Syndicate is a series-A crypto company that was founded to revolutionize venture capital—that is, how the future gets funded.
Since then, the company has pivoted to focus on delivering that same underlying tech in developer APIs that let anyone, including some of the internet's fastest-growing communities and culture-defining brands, build their community on crypto rails.
I joined Syndicate as employee #1. Less than 6 months later, we closed >$28M from VCs like a16z and scaled the company to over 30 people around the world. As Head of Design, I’m responsible for the core pillars of product design, research, brand, content, design ops, and a pillar we like to call “economies”, so called because we don’t just design our product—we’re designing entirely new economies and a fledgling industry.

A quick note about financial product case studies
The designs below are concepts that include fake data for illustrative purposes. The names and numbers in these designs are completely made up at random and do not reflect any person, company, or group’s past, present, or future plans. Even where a group or person's name may bear similarity to a real-life group or person, the numbers and other data associated with it are random. Any similarity to real life events are purely coincidental. Nothing contained herein is or should be construed as investment advice, legal advice, solicitation or encouragement to conduct any financial transaction, or an ad for any current or future offering of any token or security.
A pivot to infrastructure meant our app became a developer dashboard focused around setup and monitoring of our on-chain primitives.
In the world of blockchains, status is actually pretty complicated. It’s important that we clearly communicate where a transaction is through its lifecycle.
We centered the interface’s navigation around a breadcrumb component shown in the upper left of the view.
