( Overview )
Trust Bank is a concept I started on my own: a dark mode banking dashboard to push my craft in elevation, light, and hierarchy. Dark UI falls apart when everything sits flat, so I modeled the whole thing with layered shadow to make it feel dimensional, almost physical.

Light as hierarchy
If everything glows, nothing matters. Depth had to carry the information architecture.
The dashboard covers the basics of banking: cards, transfers, payments, a currency converter, account management, and messaging. Every surface sits at a chosen height. The main actions rise toward the light, and the reference info sits back. Shadows do the job that borders and dividers usually do, so it stays clean without going flat.
The messaging view pushed it hardest. List, thread, and detail panes at three different depths, readable in an instant without a single hairline divider.
