Arcturus.io

Project Outline

Joining Arcturus.io and their team, I played a critical role in designing their innovative sustainability data intelligence SaaS, which is specifically aimed at providing valuable investment insights to financial professionals. The platform developed by Arcturus offers granular insights into the drivers of climate and ESG profiles for investment holdings, allowing users to track the changes in the environmental performance and sustainability profile of an investment portfolio over time.

This level of insight and analysis enables investors to make informed decisions about their investments, resulting in more strategic and profitable investment strategies.

Outcome

Working closely with Jonathan McCullagh, Founder & CEO of Arcturus, I spearheaded the realization of their ambitious vision by employing a rigorous user-centred design process. Given limited access to financial professionals and the unprecedented nature of the project, gathering user requirements was a significant challenge, requiring me to make numerous assumptions about what users wanted to see in climate data.

From ideation to final implementation, I was involved in every stage of the design process, which included gathering requirements, sketching out ideas, defining user flows, creating wireframes, designing lo-fi to hi-fi prototypes, and building a custom design system from the ground up. The distinctive platform that resulted provides users with a clear view of complex data and business intelligence that enables them to make better investment decisions across a wide range of financial instruments, including share classes, funds, and ETFs.
