Forge Studio Forge is a remote strategic UI/UX digital product design studio based in the San Francisco Bay area.

When working on EarnIn's design system, we didn’t just focus on and . We also prioritized designing the UX of the designer & developer experience to ensure ease of use, driving adoption, alignment, and smooth collaboration.

About the project:
Forge supported EarnIn’s upcoming rebrand through a platform-agnostic, multi-brand design system, unifying their apps and scaling their user experience for current & future needs. It also paved the way for their new product channel!

One of the primary goals was to streamline the process of working with the system, enabling cross-functional teams (XFN) and simplifying developer handoff. We used to manage our tokens, apply styles to components, and sync with the system's GitHub repo.

Design system highlights:
🌗 Token-based = light and dark modes
🍱 Tile-based UI for better organization
🔄 Slot strategy for flexible component placement
👕 T-shirt sizing & spacing systems for consistent layouts
🏎️ Pre-made content components to speed up design with realistic content

New channel 0→1
The design system supported the launch of EarnIn’s first responsive web product, creating a unified baseline UX across platforms.

Flashback to when we redesigned the Braintrust platform from the ground up to align with their recent rebrand, helped launch their BTRST token, overhauled onboarding flows, and raised the base-level UX across the platform—including the redesign of the talent profile.

The talent profile serves as the platform for talent to best articulate their narrative and showcase distinct skills, work samples, and history.

The design of the Braintrust talent profile is a noticeable departure from typical job marketplaces. It boldly celebrates each type of information to zoom in and celebrate what makes them unique.

The bold talent profile design follows our “scannability through differentiation” principle, making it easier for employers and team members to quickly scan and evaluate info-heavy profiles in seconds. Feedback confirmed this design improves the overall experience.

The celebratory presentation of information begs talent to fill in more details about their experience and choose a custom color for their profile to put their best foot forward in telling their unique story.

We're excited to share our UI/UX design case study for Braintrust’s platform redesign and token launch back in 2021! Braintrust is a decentralized talent network that connects freelancers with top companies, allowing them to keep 100% of their earnings and participate in governance while using AI to efficiently match skills with global job opportunities.

Forge redesigned the Braintrust platform from the ground up to align with their recent rebrand, launch their BTRST token, improve onboarding, and raise the base-level UX across the platform.
