Global brands use it to onboard, pay, and account for creators, freelancers, and agencies. Amir Beck leads product design, codes much of the app UI himself, and works with the exec team on what gets built. The redesign supported a company pivot from influencer marketing to payments, and launched features that created new revenue streams. Outcomes cited on the site: - ~90% of the app UI redesign coded personally - 1 company pivot to payments, driven by the redesign - New revenue streams launched Work on the case study includes: - A role-aware buyer dashboard, designed, built, and animated in React, that surfaces product value and gives an actionable homepage - An app redesign from the ground up, coding ~90% personally, with help on the left nav and complex layout files - A reporting feature, built and launched so clients can audit their finances, using Figma Code Connect, the Figma MCP, and Claude Code to go from design to shipped code - Aligning the design system and the codebase in component UI, naming, and functionality, then using Code Connect for a 1 to 1 match, so developers pick the right component, mockups match development, and AI IDEs and code assistants work more accurately - A tax engine that automates global tax compliance, research driven and shaped with users - Projects, for real-time spending visibility and cross team collaboration, researched across agencies, SMBs, enterprise, and DTC - Vendor onboarding and compliance, redesigned across multiple rounds using Heap funnel analytics and CS ticket data, balancing international and domestic requirements with user feedback ## SkySlope URL: https://amirbeck.com/skyslope Years: 2020 to 2022 Role: UI and UX Designer Category: Real Estate Platform Work included: UX, UI, interaction design, user research SkySlope builds real estate transaction software. Amir Beck improved UX across DigiSign, Forms, and Breeze, and led Breeze from concept through launch. Outcomes cited on the site: - Cut digital signing mistakes by ~50% - Made paperwork delegation easier for whole teams - Drove a 15% increase in cross product usage, opening new customer pipelines DigiSign: usability testing found agents struggled to place and assign signature blocks. 4 of 10 testers were frustrated placing and assigning blocks, and 5 of 10 struggled to change a block's properties after placement. DigiSign kept the signature block selected after placement, an interaction pattern deviation from most other e-signing tools, so switching signer reassigned the block already on the page instead of starting a new one. Because long time users were used to the old interaction and the survey split was even, the shipped work was a preferences page for selection behavior plus a clearer flow for changing signers. Launching it cut digital signing mistakes by 50%. Forms: built to serve individual agents, but agents work with transaction coordinators who handle much of the paperwork. Added team management, filtering the file list by collaborator, and file history for compliance auditing. The result was an all inclusive document management tool that grew market share across large brokerages. Breeze: California transactions require many complex disclosure forms, and completing them by hand is slow and error prone. Breeze launched as a wizard flow product covering the key disclosures (MHTDS, SPQ, TDS, EQ), with a dashboard for tracking client progress and a mobile first design, including speech to text on visual inspection forms so agents can complete them on site by typing or dictation. It drove a 15% increase in cross product usage and created a new inbound customer pipeline. ## Granate URL: https://amirbeck.com/granate Years: 2022 to 2023 Role: Lead Product Designer Category: Grief Support App Work included: UX, UI, product strategy, brand, marketing, research Amir Beck led product design for Granate, an app for an early stage startup that supports people through loss and end of life planning. Work spanned UX, UI, branding, and product strategy. Outcomes cited on the site: - ~25% drop in onboarding drop off - ~30% increase in weekly engagement - Set the development team up for quick feature delivery ## EasyPeady URL: https://amirbeck.com/easypeady Years: 2021 Role: Lead Product Designer Category: Real Estate Form Streamlining Work included: UX, UI, user research In late 2020, COVID added the PEAD-V form to every home viewing. Amir Beck led design and launch of EasyPeady, a web app that auto-fills, sends, and splits PEAD forms. It shipped in under a quarter and later became the groundwork for SkySlope Breeze. Outcomes cited on the site: - Developed and launched in under a quarter - 15% increase in cross product engagement - Generated a pipeline of new customers The 15% figure is one outcome, not two. EasyPeady drove a 15% increase in usage of SkySlope's other products, so it is cited on both https://amirbeck.com/easypeady and https://amirbeck.com/skyslope. ## Playground URL: https://amirbeck.com/playground Live UI experiments, rebuilt in React so they run in the browser rather than as screenshots. Linking withdrawal methods (Lumanu): users were confused when linking their withdrawal method, which generated support tickets. The flow now starts with country and currency, then shows only the withdrawal methods that work for that pair. The country and currency pair decides which payment rails are available. A US payout runs on ACH or an instant debit card. Everywhere else it is a local bank transfer where Lumanu supports one, and a SWIFT wire where it does not. The demo wallet is a fixed $1,000 USD and currency conversion uses a live mid market rate refreshed every 15 minutes. Permissions (Lumanu): roles could not meet the varying requirements of buyer auditors, so access moved to permission groups that can be set per user for enterprise companies with stricter compliance requirements.
