Overview
Over three years, I designed Lantern's platform from scratch—starting with stakeholder workshops in London to understand their business and goals, then creating an intuitive interface that makes complex financial data digestible. Lantern.ai provides AI-powered analytics for general partners and portfolio managers. The platform successfully met both user needs and business objectives, earning strong praise from stakeholders.
Lantern’s technology has given us access to fund-level data and insights, through a beautifully intuitive platform. It’s the start of something I believe could be a game-changer in the market.

In financial technology, clarity at a glance is crucial for decision-making. The challenge was creating an interface that could display data-heavy information—performance metrics, benchmarks, and operational insights—in a way that felt both trustworthy and immediately scannable.
The platform features sophisticated data visualizations including dashboards, charts, tree maps, and Sankey diagrams that transform complex data into clear, actionable insights. Working closely with stakeholders and developers, I created high-fidelity screens and delivered a comprehensive design system to support future growth.
