Yabonza Landlord Registration - UX/UI design for a self-onboarding app

Yabonza needed a way to capture prospective landlord information to speed up its onboarding process and give asset managers the ability to approve and activate new landlord accounts before adding their properties to the main app.

I designed a simple, easy to use, online self-onboarding UI. The highly visual stepped approach featured the imagery from the marketing website for a cohesive user experience.

KIND WORDS

A standout and super-creative designer. Luke has the rare combination of technical know-how and creative flair. He designed (and helped to code) the yabonza application and website from a blank sheet of paper. The themes, layouts, user-experience and overall information architecture came from Luke. Always the voice of the user, Luke iteratively brought continuous improvement to the platform, producing a very professional and high-quality product.

I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He devours a problem. He is genuinely one of the most versatile designers I've worked with. Oh, and he's a standup bloke :)

Gareth Collinson
Technology Leader (Former CTO at Yabonza)

Luke joined our team and quickly began producing high quality UX/UI designs while simultaneously learning our complex product and problem spaces. His UX research efforts were thorough and provided valuable insights to inform our product iterations. Luke is always willing learn new things and to receive and action feedback.

Mike Abraham
Product Manager at Google (Former Product Manager at SiteMinder)

I have been lucky enough to work with Luke in two seperate companies over the last four years or so. Luke is a very talented UI/UX designer with a keen eye for detail. He is resilient to ever changing client demands and shown himself to be very adaptable in his work. Luke is a pleasure to work with and would be an asset to any team.

Matt Adams
Technology leader and startup enthusiast (Former Chief Technology Officer at Yabonza

It was a pleasure working with Luke. Both products that Luke worked on at Arria NLG were really challenging in terms of UI UX design. One was a financial analysis and reporting application where numbers and narratives needed to be presented in clear and concise way. He did a great job of fulfilling this requirement while maintaining great readability and modern aesthetics. In the other app, he was able to simplify and streamline the experience of a web-based narrative editor to make it a much more cohesive experience for the user. In both projects Luke demonstrated not only great design skills, he also took on storyboarding the user journey with sketches and wireframes to come up with a functional UX based on the user’s needs. I highly recommend Luke for web based SaaS application design.

Aamir Ibrahim
Group Product Manager at Linktree (Former Product Manager at Arria)

We hired Luke an at important time in the development of our two ground-breaking SaaS products. We needed someone with great UI/UX experience to make sure we got things right. Luke came up with some of the most beautiful and functional designs I've seen in a long time -- no small task when it meant he had to develop an understanding of new and complex software artefacts from scratch. I was very impressed by his unbendable user-driven perspective and his ability to manage conflicting points of view from various team members.
