Plywise is a unified, desktop-first platform I designed for a hypothetical multi-asset trading scenario, where users can trade, track, and manage portfolios within a single workspace. I designed the system to treat all asset classes with equal priority, allowing users to move fluidly between assets and take quick actions from anywhere. To reduce cognitive load, I introduced distinct color themes for each asset class, using color as a visual anchor to improve mental mapping across the platform. Plywise also acts as a lightweight research layer by bringing data, content, and visual insights into a single Explore space, with each trade supported by a structured investment thesis.
