Case Study

Deep dive: Sukuri Protocol.

Web3 · SaaS · Product Design

Designing a business operating system for the on-chain economy

Sukuri Protocol needed two things at once: a crypto subscription platform for creators and businesses, and a full-featured business dashboard. I was the sole designer, owning everything from research to final handoff.

01 — The Problem

Crypto businesses had no infrastructure built for them

Web3 businesses were stitching together Web2 tools that weren't built for on-chain payments, wallet-based identities, or token-gated access. They couldn't invoice in crypto, manage subscribers on-chain, or track business performance in one place.

The brief was clear: design a product suite that lets any business operate entirely on-chain — subscriptions, invoicing, payroll, customer management — with a UI that feels familiar and trustworthy, not intimidating.

02 — Research & Discovery

Understanding both the user and the ecosystem

I conducted competitive analysis across Web2 SaaS tools (Stripe, Notion, QuickBooks) and Web3-native alternatives to identify gaps. I ran 6 stakeholder interviews with crypto business owners to understand their actual workflows.

Key insight: users trusted Web2 dashboards because they were familiar. The biggest barrier wasn't crypto — it was visual complexity and unclear affordances.

Key findings:

Users wanted Web2-level clarity with Web3 capabilities underneath
Wallet address display needed to feel native, not technical
Subscription management was the most requested missing feature in Web3
Dashboard data needed to be scannable in under 5 seconds
03 — Design Process

From wireframes to a scalable design system

I started with low-fidelity wireframes in FigJam to map all user flows across both products: the subscription platform and the business dashboard. Once flows were validated with the team, I moved to high-fidelity in Figma.

The design system became the backbone — reusable components for tables, cards, charts, wallet displays, status indicators, and form patterns. This meant engineers could build faster and the product stayed consistent as it scaled.

Subscription Platform covered:

Onboarding and wallet connection flow
Plan creation and pricing configuration
Subscriber management and analytics
Token-gated access UI patterns

Business Dashboard covered:

Earnings overview with real-time charts
Invoice creation and payment tracking
Customer database with wallet lookup
Payroll module for team payments in crypto
04 — Challenges

Designing for a product that didn't exist yet

There were no established design patterns for on-chain business tooling. Every decision — how to show a wallet address, how to represent pending blockchain transactions, how to make "payroll in crypto" feel safe — required first-principles thinking.

Working as the sole designer also meant I had to prioritise ruthlessly. I focused on the highest-traffic flows first and built the design system in parallel, so every screen I added benefited from the components already in place.

05 — Outcome & Impact

A faster, cleaner feedback loop — and a product ready to ship

By using interactive prototypes throughout the process, I reduced back-and-forth with engineering significantly. Developers could experience the intended behavior directly in Figma rather than interpreting static specs — cutting review cycles by approximately 30% and shipping screens faster.

About

The person behind the work.

I'm Anthony Littlejohn, a Senior Product Designer and Business Operations Manager with over 10 years of experience across Web3, gaming, SaaS, and B2B industries.

My edge isn't just good design. It's that I understand how businesses operate. I've run ops, acquired partners, built growth strategies, and shipped full products, not just handed over files. I also leverage generative AI to accelerate workflows and prototype faster.

I'm looking to bring this blend of design thinking and operational experience to a world-class product team, wherever great work is being done.

Outside of work: gaming, boxing, and watching food recipes on YouTube.
