Overview

The Client

They offer tailored investment strategies to institutional clients, including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and endowments. Their services encompass private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, and venture capital. Hamilton Lane operates worldwide, leveraging deep industry knowledge and a client-centric approach to drive meaningful change in the private markets

Problem

Hamilton Lane’s existing investment execution process relies heavily on manual workflows, leading to inefficiencies, a higher risk of errors, and a lack of transparency across teams. Without a centralized system, stakeholders have limited visibility into the status of each step in the execution process, often resulting in delays and miscommunication. The fragmented approach also makes it challenging to scale operations as the organization grows, and it restricts the flexibility needed to adapt to evolving business needs.

My Role

As the UI designer on this project, my focus was on transforming wireframes into polished, visually cohesive designs while improving usability wherever possible. I collaborated closely with the team to assess the wireframes provided and suggested UX enhancements. My responsibilities included designing interfaces that aligned with branding, accessibility standards, and scalability needs. I worked iteratively, incorporating feedback from stakeholders and ensuring that the final designs met both user and business goals.

Solution

The application serves as both a centralized workflow tool and a data management solution. It allows stakeholders to track the status of each step in real time, ensuring accountability and visibility throughout the investment execution process. The platform gives users the opportunity to provide necessary data at the right time and automatically circulate or upload information to relevant parties, reducing manual input and improving accuracy.

Discovery

I came on later in this project. With a tight deadline to get hi-fidelity mock ups to the client, I relied on diagrams and lo-fi wireframes created by lead architects and engineers to aid in my deliverable.
