I was proud to be part of the design team that introduced a new addition to the already robust Acorn investment platform. Acorns Early is a custodial account that lets parents, friends, or family members invest in the future of the children they love.

A new set of icons was part of the new revamped application look. This was a huge undertaking to revamp and systemize the entire icon library, but the end-result was very satisfying with a series of 2-color and single-color icons representing everything from abstract ideas to strictly utilitarian purposes.

A new component in the Acorns app was created to help users set up their accounts and discover product features. The project required a set of illustrations to help communicate those actions visually.

I was part of the product design team that developed, revamped and launched a new type of portfolio called ESG portfolios. ESG stands for environmental, social, and governance. Acorns Sustainable Portfolios are made of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) designed to provide exposure to more sustainable companies, while aiming to perform on par with a traditional portfolio. A fun interactive tour was designed that mimics a rotating globe.

From initial mapping it is evident that the categories serve as good parent views in a flat hierarchy. Each element under the view is directly related to the purpose of the view. Portrayed in the new mapping is the user’s narrative of personal growth in the hierarchy. First one invests, sees the changes in the portfolio, and grows by acquiring more information over time, along with money. Furthermore, that narrative is also present in the performance graph, all under one scope but accessible.

Solid lines denote a connection within the parent view, while dashed lines indicate a connection in different views. Accompanying the lines are nodes. Solid nodes denote that the elements send the user to the same page or context, while nodes with no fill denote different contexts as the destination. Finally, the colors indicate different information that relates each component. I broke it down into 4 distinct categories: investing, portfolio & performance, knowledge, and other. “Other” could include products that Acorn is trying to cross-sell, but are not part of the core service. I also broke down the “Invest for your future” page in a similar fashion because there was more information under the hood.
