Designing the Future of Finance

Marija Đurđević

I'm a Product Designer with 10+ years of experience in fintech and Web3, designing products that drive trust, adoption, and business growth.

Most recently, I led product design for Apex Fusion's Reputation System, contributing to 1,000+ wallet creations during its first month after launch through a product‑led onboarding experience.

Earlier, at Namics, I worked on UBS E‑Banking during a major digital transformation initiative in Swiss banking, gaining first‑hand experience designing for complex financial products.

Outside of work, I speak about product design and dApp UX at events including IXDA Belgrade and Web3 Academy.
