Hi, I'm Ari Amanatidis, a UX designer crafting intuitive, user-centered experiences across mobile and web platforms.

At Capital One, I helped design and launch Simulator and Credit Goals, two main features for the CreditWise app, along with several credit line management products for their main banking app. I worked closely with technology, product, and business teams to uncover customer and business needs, then translated those insights into intuitive, engaging design solutions. My role involved applying human-centered design methods, discovery, research, ideation, and user testing, to advocate for users and enhance the product experience. I also supported design led workshops to build cross functional alignment and proactively recommended product improvements grounded in research and UX best practices.

When SwiftUI was announced, I wanted to dive in and learn it hands-on. What better way to do that than by building something real? That’s how YA$T (Yet Another Spending Tracker) was born—a simple, intuitive app focused on quick expense entry, customizable categories, and helpful visual insights through graphs.

It’s available on the App Store if you’d like to see some of my UX and design sensibilities in action. Keep in mind, some of those sensibilities were limited by my coding skills.

WeatherTunes is an app I dreamed up, designed, and built using Swift and Xcode. Along the way, I dove deep into the nuances of creating custom UI for iOS, sweating every pixel and obsessing over the small details. I used motion and animation affordances throughout the app, not just for aesthetics, but to orient the user and add moments of delight.
