The brief
Amero X was the first thing I worked on after joining Spotmies, in December 2025. It's a crypto trading platform: spot and futures trading, copy trading, swaps, P2P deals, staking and a wallet. Its designs already existed, but they felt cheap, and in crypto a cheap look costs trust. My job was to refine them, working with Spotmies' design head and the client.
The design
The client wanted black and gold. My first real struggle as a designer was balancing the two in a modern design language: enough gold to feel premium, never so much that it looked cheap or broke trust.
Across the platform, gold is kept for what matters: the action you're about to take, your balance, the page you're on. Everything else sits in dark, warm greys, with the gold glowing softly behind it.
Dashboard, spot trading, futures and copy trading.
The colours come from the logo and the coin. Beside the logo's bright yellow (#FDD303), the product uses a softer gold, #FCDA7B, kept for what matters, and the coin's metal as a gradient from #FCDA7B through #E2B649 to #FDB648. Everything else sits on near-black #050505 and dark #121212 panels. Headings are set in Gambarino, a serif, and the rest in Space Grotesk.

The build
Once the client approved the landing page in Figma, I built it myself, matching the design exactly: the fonts, the effects and every animation. A gold coin spins in to open the page, gold circuits trace the background, the feature cards fan out as a stack, and the footer spells AMERO X in lit dots.
What happened
My part ended in January 2026, and the development team took it from there. They changed parts of it later, so the live site at amerox.io differs from what's shown here: the design and build as I handed them over.
My first project taught me that a premium look comes from restraint. Gold everywhere looked cheap; gold kept for the one thing that matters on each screen made the same palette feel trustworthy. Building the landing page myself, to the pixel, also showed me what survives the move from Figma to code.
