THE PROBLEM

Meridian°'s signup abandoned at 61% — users hit dense KYC forms before they'd seen any value. The brand was also a Latin-named spreadsheet logo with no voice.

THE APPROACH
  1. 01Audited 40+ competitor flows and ran 8 user interviews in SR/EN
  2. 02Rebuilt the flow as 3 progressive micro-decisions instead of one long form
  3. 03Created a typographic identity system — no mascot, no stock illustration
  4. 04Shipped behind a feature flag, measured, then cut over
DELIVERABLES
  • End-to-end onboarding flow (14 screens)
  • Design system in Figma with 120+ tokens
  • Next.js marketing site + dashboard shell
  • Brand guidelines (PDF
  • 48pp)
OUTCOME

Launched Q2 2025. Onboarding completion climbed from 39% → 58% in the first six weeks. The same typographic system now runs across their web, mobile, and support docs.

They treated the onboarding like a product, not a form. The result didn't just look better — it moved the business.
