Stablecoin Payments for Freelancers

PROBLEM

Freelancers working internationally face slow, expensive, and unreliable payments. Traditional platforms charge high fees, delay transfers, and exclude underbanked users—limiting access to the global economy and stable income.

GOAL

Design a global payment platform using stablecoins to offer freelancers fast, low-cost, and borderless payments. The product needed to simplify onboarding, build trust, and offer intuitive financial tools—without requiring prior crypto knowledge.

ROLE

Founding Designer

SCOPE

Branding, visual identity, UX design, end-to-end wallet and payment flows

Process

Brand & Visual Identity

Created a fresh, modern visual identity to position Sorbet as both trustworthy and accessible. The branding balanced fintech clarity with a human, empowering tone for freelancers

End-to-End Wallet UX

Designed and mapped the complete user journey and intergrated with Privy and Pimlico

Onboarding

Designed a frictionless, custodial wallet experience—abstracting complex crypto steps to make it feel like any modern fintech app.

Payments

Enabled one-click stablecoin transfers with clear fee visibility, real-time status updates, and local currency equivalents.

Business tools

Integrated lightweight back-office features (invoicing, earnings breakdowns, client tagging) to help freelancers manage income more professionally.

Link-in-Bio

Developed a bold, GenZ-aligned brand system with high-contrast visuals, dynamic motion, and sleek UI components. The goal was to merge luxury, streetwear, and web3 aesthetics.

Trust & Accessibility

Localized interfaces and educational microcopy helped users in underbanked regions feel confident using Sorbet.

Link-in-Bio

PERSONALIZATION

A dynamic, customizable profile that let freelancers showcase their work, portfolio, and social proof—making it easier to attract new clients and build trust. It also served as a lightweight marketing tool, giving users a natural way to share their Sorbet link across social media and grow product visibility organically.

Outcomes

LAUNCH

Successfully onboarded 1,000+ freelancers post-launch

STREAMLINED

Reduced payment friction and cross-border costs through stablecoin rails

FAMILIARITY

Delivered a crypto-native wallet experience that felt familiar to fintech users

TOOLBOX

Empowered freelancers with both financial autonomy and business tools in one clean interface
