Phase 1 : Discovery
Understanding User Needs
We focused on understanding the needs, challenges, and workflows of our two primary user groups: patients and clinics.

Customer Needs

Clinic Needs

SAYS
I don’t want to get rejected
I want to know if I can afford
Will this affect my credit score?
THINKS
I want to look better, but can’t pay at once.
If it takes long or feels fishy, I’ll drop off.
Can I trust this provider? Will I regret?
FEELS
Anxious about financial commitment
Skeptical toward loans and hidden fees
Relieved when things are clearly explained
DOES
Starts the process, but drops off halfway
Asks the clinics for guidance
Needs approval indicators before applying
Phase 2 : Define
User Flows & UX Strategy
Followed by persona study, we began to design for simplicity, trust, and conversion across key journeys by mapping & optimizing user flows.
Designed flows for both users to reduce friction on both sides

Validated flows through internal testing and team feedback cycles

Applied empathy-led microcopies to address potential drop-offs

Used statuses & minimal UI layers to keep experiences lightweight

Wireframes & Validation
We created low to mid fidelity wireframes to validate content hierarchy, UX clarity, and flows before moving into visual design. we tested them internally & iterated to ensure the efficiency.
Each step shows only the next action needed, preventing overwhelm.

Focusing on functionality over aesthetics to advocate for user needs.

Phase 3 : Develop
Premium Interface, Exclusive CX
We created an interface with a focus on service scalability to kickstart business operations & brand positioning.
Keep it Aesthetic
Elegant and visually sophisticated design that communicates premium quality.
Make it Accessible
Designed for everyone, balancing exclusivity with intuitive, inclusive user experiences.
Ensure Scalability
Adapts seamlessly across devices & a premium appearance and functionality.
Keep it Functional
Performs exceptionally with attention to detail in every interaction and feature.
With all our Wireframes ready, we studied certain patterns & Practices by user groups to understand the perception of luxury in their lifestyle & derived Inspiration from it. Read Psychology of Exclusivity for digital products.
The Interface strikes a fine balance between premium and bold for deriving confidence, clear and minimal for user trust.

Bold & Impactful Identity
Brings High Contrast, Persuasive in nature, shows confidence & authority.
Dark Themed Interface for Key Marketing Pages
The black interface was used across PLIM’s landing pages, marketing materials, and lead-capture touchpoints.


Light Themed Interface for Functional Pages
Used for the core product experience such as loan applications, dashboards, and onboarding flows for patients and clinics.
Legibility and Approachability
Supports fast scanning and clear input feedback for non-tech-savvy users

Colors & Typography
Accent colors were used sparingly for key actions or alerts, Color contrast was tested for WCAG AA compliance wherever possible

Phase 4 : Deliver
UX Documentation
Since the design process was highly iterative and fast paced, we decided to revisit all our page after completing phase 1 of design span, and documented all our variables and tokens



Outcomes & Impacts
