LocalBitcoins

A concept refresh of LocalBitcoins.com, made under time pressure for an interview with a crypto agency in Malta. The platform was a solid marketplace on an outdated shell — in 2018 it didn't even have a proper mobile version. Goal: mobile first.

01 The challenge

A trusted peer-to-peer bitcoin marketplace whose interface lagged years behind its product — dense tables, desktop-only thinking, and a first impression that undersold how good the platform actually was.

02 The approach

Mobile version first: buy/sell flows rebuilt as simple, thumb-friendly forms, the brand's orange and blue kept but given air, and the trading data reorganized so a first-time visitor could place an offer without a manual.
