Identity Wallet
Self-initiated exploration of decentralized digital identity for three user types: individuals managing their credentials, organizations verifying identity attributes, and developers integrating verification into their products. The project investigates how granular permission control can be made legible and actionable without exposing blockchain complexity to end users.

What I've designed
End-to-end information architecture covering three distinct spaces: identity (verified attributes), permissions (active connections with organizations), and audit (immutable event history)
User flows for granting, managing, and revoking granular permissions — including asynchronous on-chain states modeled as non-blocking interactions with explicit intermediate feedback.
Permission management UI with a full state taxonomy (active, expiring, expired, revoked, pending, suspended) and a conflict-of-interest model resolving competing needs across the three user types.
Component library covering core states for the Permission Card, Attribute Disclosure, and Transaction Status components, including error, empty, and loading states.
Visual system with semantic design tokens distinguishing permission states, credential trust levels, and action types — including a deliberate separation between destructive and irreversible actions.

What I've learned
Designing for three user types with partially conflicting needs — particularly around transparency vs. privacy — required resolving those conflicts at the architecture level before touching the interface. Decisions made in the data model directly constrained what was possible to design.

I bridge the gap between design intent and engineering execution. Here’show systematic thinking applies to both sides.
