Bridgepay
An escrow and international payments sub-product designed from scratch — clear flows for buyers, sellers, and non-registered users, under compliance and budget constraints.
The brief
Bridgepay was building a payments platform to help Nigerians move money globally when the founder approached me with an emerging idea: "Can we make online buying and selling safer for everyone?" He and I had worked together before, so he trusted my ability to think holistically — product → UX → compliance → UI → strategy. Together, we shaped a new escrow sub-product from the ground up, starting with an empty screen.

Results and reflection
What happened
The escrow product wasn't shipped, but the work strengthened our collaboration. The founder continued bringing me in for product input, and later invited me as his design partner for a Lagos Business School innovation bootcamp, where our team earned an award. This project represents early but meaningful fintech thinking: building trust, reducing ambiguity, and designing flows that help people feel safe when money is involved.
One key thing I would say about Deron, having worked with him for a very long time, is the full attention, detail, and commitment he puts into getting work done.
