Overview

Modernising how Australians search, compare and apply for finance

Stratton Finance is a leading Australian vehicle and asset finance broker. As the UX/UI Designer in Stratton’s product team, I redesigned the customer-facing website and quote tools, improved the online loan application, and designed custom Salesforce interfaces to support broker workflows.

The work spanned user research, web and mobile interface design, and close collaboration with developers.

The challenge

A complex, multi-step journey on tools that couldn’t keep up

Stratton’s legacy tools struggled to keep up with user expectations, especially on mobile, and internal systems lacked cohesive UX. The challenge was to simplify the finance journey while making broker systems in Salesforce faster and easier to use.

Process

From research to release

  1. Research & analysis

    Interviewed customers, analysed form abandonment, and shadowed brokers in Salesforce to find pain points.

  2. Experience mapping

    Mapped the full journey from landing to post-application, alongside broker workflows from lead to approval.

  3. Wireframes & prototypes

    Rebuilt the quote and application flow step by step, and prototyped custom Lightning components for brokers.

  4. Design system

    Led a scalable, WCAG-compliant system across mobile, desktop and Salesforce Lightning.

  5. High fidelity & iteration

    Refined layouts with broker feedback: collapsible deal sections, status cues and colour-coded pipeline stages.

  6. Development & handoff

    Worked in Agile sprints with redlines, prototypes and annotated specs, then QA and user testing.
