Overview

MindTrade is the first application developed using MindLanguage, tailored specifically to the trading domain, with an initial focus on cryptocurrencies. MindTrade product includes a graphical interface that fully leverages the capabilities of Mind, featuring a chat interface and a diagram editor.

Just 16 days before their highly anticipated launch, I joined the founding engineering team to lead marketing and advise on UX/UI as they prepared to scale, expand product features, and redesign their website. Over the following three months, I shaped the product narrative, created educational content, and managed all social channels.

Personal Reflection

Transitioning from token holder to leading design and marketing for Mindtrade gave me firsthand exposure to early pain points. Beta testing and community feedback revealed that while no-code trading algorithms were powerful, they weren’t inherently simple for new users. To address this, I immersed myself in existing crypto trading tools, benchmarking their shortcomings in onboarding, visual storytelling, and accessibility—insights that shaped how we refined the user experience.

PROCESS

Visual roadmap for crypto and blockchain software MVP lifecycle.

As I prepared to lead a marketing campaign, my role shifted to supporting developers with rough sketches, detailed storyboards, and sample animations. I emphasized mood, timing, and motion context while drawing from existing style guides and assets. Collaborating remotely across time zones, I established bi-weekly motion review sessions with developers to ensure messaging, tone, and deliverables remained tightly aligned.
