BACKGROUND

Managing payments, payroll, and access controls in modern organizations is often fragmented, with teams relying on disconnected tools or manual spreadsheets. This can lead to inefficiencies and costly errors. I created SwiftPay as a self-initiated project to sharpen my product thinking and UI/UX skills. It’s a conceptual payroll and bulk payment system designed for organizations that handle frequent transactions aiming to bring clarity, control, and simplicity to internal payment processes.

Core Problem

Many small to mid-sized organizations struggle with outdated payment workflows, relying on manual spreadsheets, scattered approvals, and lack of visibility into who controls what. There's often no streamlined way to handle bulk payments, manage team access, or track transactions in real time. This creates confusion, delays, and errors. SwiftPay was my response to these inefficiencies.

My Role as The Product Designer

As the product designer on the SwiftPay project, I was responsible for crafting a seamless and intuitive experience across the entire platform. I designed the design system and visual style guide to ensure consistency, scalability, and smooth handoff to developers.

My work spanned multiple areas, including the payroll dashboard, bulk payment flow, team access management, and transactional feedback components like modals and toast notifications. I focused on making financial workflows clear and manageable for finance and HR teams while reducing friction and errors in routine payment operations. Each screen was designed with simplicity and clarity in mind, helping users navigate complex tasks with confidence.

To address the inefficiencies in managing payments and access within organizations, I designed SwiftPay, a centralized platform that simplifies payroll and bulk transactions while offering clear, role-based access control. The design focuses on creating a seamless flow for finance and HR teams, reducing the reliance on disconnected tools and spreadsheets. By streamlining tasks into a unified, intuitive interface, SwiftPay enables teams to work more efficiently, stay informed, and maintain transparency across every payment action.
