As the UX designer for durian.win by Bounce, I crafted a mobile-first interface for a decentralized perpetuals trading platform aimed at making advanced DeFi trading more accessible.

Since launch, durian has seen nearly 3,000 users and over $247 million in cumulative trading volume.t. My focus was on reducing cognitive load through intuitive gesture-based interactions, real-time feedback, and a clean, modular UI. I also designed the durian Points reward system to drive engagement and encourage user retention through gamification. The result is a fast, user-friendly experience that lowers the barrier to entry for perpetuals trading while maintaining the performance and clarity advanced users expect.

Tools used:

  • Figma

My Role​

  • Mobile-First Interface Design
    Designed a frictionless tap-swipe-trade interface tailored for mobile. Emphasis was placed on legibility, minimal input steps, and gesture-friendly controls.

  • Gamification & Engagement
    Worked with product and marketing to integrate the “durian Points” reward system into the UI to boost engagement and long-term user retention.

  • Design System & Prototypes
    Created a modular component system in Figma, supporting rapid iteration and scalability. Prototypes were tested across devices and iterated based on feedback.

  • Handoff & Developer Collaboration
    Delivered annotated design specs, responsive variants, and collaborated with frontend devs to ensure fidelity during implementation.

Key Features

  • Clean, tap-driven trading interface with real-time PnL indicators

  • Points-based gamified reward system visible via swipeable cards

  • Light/dark mode toggle for accessibility

  • Risk-adjusted leverage control with dynamic feedback

This project was a deep dive into designing for speed, clarity, and trust in the fast-moving world of decentralized finance. It challenged me to balance user education with efficiency, and to translate complex trading mechanics into a seamless mobile experience. Working cross-functionally with developers, product managers, and the marketing team, I helped launch a product that is not only functional but also delightful to use. Durian continues to evolve, and I’m proud to have contributed to its foundation as it grows into a flagship platform within the Bounce ecosystem.

Redesign & prototype coming soon
