JYRONNE PRUIS

Hello, Hola, Olá  I’m Jy!

I design complex workflows

A product designer who designs and builds

  • SaaS
  • Fintech
  • Design system

I’m a Product Designer with 5+ years of experience, from Gibraltar and now living in the Portuguese countryside.

I like making complicated things simpler in products, but also in the way teams work. At Venga, I’ve been building out our design system, improving processes and helping reshape how we use AI in design.

"A real pleasure working with Jy! While working at SwissBorg, he managed a big workload while diving deep into complex product problems. He has a great ability to factor in business, technical, and regulatory constraints while still putting the user first."

The latest

NEW

A new AI design process

At Venga, I streamlined the design process around an AI-first approach, reducing manual work and helping the team move from idea to validated direction faster.

Recent win!

Utilising AI I connected an MCP to Claude that carried out 92 translations in 5 minutes. This would have taken 5+ hours to carry out. Every Designer at Venga is now using this AI workflow.

Looking for what’s next

I’m ready to take my experience beyond crypto.

Selected works

SwissBorg

Turning a legal requirement for 700k+ users into a 2-tap check

Context

700K+ users needed to renew their KYC data or SwissBorg could face millions in fines. I designed a self-serve renewal experience and a reusable KYC system to handle compliance at scale.

Results

220k+ renewals in 2 months, zero UX complaints

and engineers no longer change user data by hand in the backend.

In this case study

  • Regulatory UX
  • Systems thinking
  • B2C
  • Competitor research
  • Scrapped designs
  • A/B testing
  • Legal and backend constraints
  • KYC widget system

SwissBorg - KYC Dashboard

Cutting KYC 2 review time by 50-75% in two weeks, with no backend changes

Context

SwissBorg's compliance agents reviewed Proof of Residence applications in a fragmented, tab-heavy back office with no defined process. I redesigned it into a guided, single-screen review flow in 2 weeks, with no backend capacity.

Results

50-75% faster Proof of Residence reviews

Measured in the first week, with decisions standardised across all agents.

In this case study

  • AI prototype
  • User research
  • Internal tools
  • Shadowing agents and reviewing applications
  • AI prototype that failed (60% slower)
  • Flag based decision design
  • Designing with no backend capacity
  • KYC system template reusable for KYC 1 and KYC 3
  • Rolling out to resistant agents

Venga

0→1 crypto bundles product ownership under pressure

Context

Turning an undefined C-suite opportunity into a new investment product. I took Crypto Bundles from an early concept to a build-ready product in three weeks, defining the MVP, shaping the experience and making key product decisions along the way.

Results

Build-ready MVP in 3 weeks

with custom bundles, which no competitor we reviewed offered.

CEO projects €30M in transaction volume by 2027

based on competitor benchmarks, pending build.

In this case study

  • 0→1 Product
  • Monetisation
  • Multiple hats
  • Competitor analysis
  • Product scoping
  • AI prototype
  • Scope trade-offs with leadership
  • Rejected ideas and iterations
  • System thinking
  • Post MVP designs

Tax Systems - Alphamap

An award-winning AI tool that cut tax mapping time by 80%

Context

Tax professionals were spending hours manually mapping trial balance data into P&L statements. I designed the review interface for Tax Systems' first generative AI tool in 3 weeks, built so sceptical experts could trust and correct the AI's output.

Results

80% less processing time, 90%+ mapping accuracyBest Digital Innovation, Tolley's Taxation Awards 2024

In this case study

  • AI prototype
  • User research
  • Internal tools
  • Designing for trust in AI output
  • H/M/L confidence indicators
  • Unconventional checkbox placement
  • Batch review over line-by-line
  • Filter iterations A/B
  • Working with domain experts
