WIlmington Trust: Case Study

I led the brand transformation and UX design for Wilmington Trust, creating a modernized digital experience tailored to high-net-worth clients. The project introduced a new brand identity, typography, color system, and photography style, all seamlessly integrated into M&T Bank’s AEM/Bootstrap framework to ensure consistency across wealth management and institutional client services (ICS).

 

Creative Approach

The goal was to develop a luxury-focused UX strategy that balanced trust, exclusivity, and intuitive design. I established a scalable Figma-based design system, refining content structure, interactive components, and brand elements to elevate the digital experience. Key updates included:

A new logo, typography (Bolto), and refined color palette
Consistent photography and content guidelines to reflect a high-end, client-centric approach
Modular UI components for flexible, seamless site navigation
