Regology was a regtech platform that used AI to help financial institutions track and comply with thousands of regulations across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously. I joined as the sole product designer and owned the UX end-to-end, from user research and wireframes through to a full design system and developer handoff.
Regology funnels the entire universe of laws down to the rules that apply to a single business, then drives an ongoing compliance cycle. Hover any node to explore it.
Professional compliance users had sophisticated needs the product wasn’t yet meeting.
Users couldn’t search within a specific jurisdiction; every query returned global results.
H·01 Visibility78 unread alerts with no way to route, prioritise, or mute irrelevant feeds.
H·04 ConsistencyThe parent–child relationship between CFR → Part → Section had no visual representation.
H·06 RecognitionWhen regulations updated, there was no diff view to show what actually changed.
H·08 AestheticEighteen months, version after version, each release added the feature the last one revealed we needed. Click through the build.
It began as a single sketch, a way to see a regulation’s hierarchy at a glance. That one drawing became the north star for everything that followed.
Foundation · Hierarchy concept“I spend half my day just trying to find out what changed, I should be spending it figuring out what to do about it.”
Note: this persona has been updated to reflect Regology’s current 2026 user base, now spanning banking, crypto, energy, healthcare, and tech sectors.
Everything in the prototype runs on one typeface, one blue and a small, sturdy kit of components. This is that system, live and pokeable. Click the swatches, flip the switches, expand the rows.
