In 2023, I took on the challenge of redesigning Axis Bank’s edge case screens — those tricky moments when an app throws an error, a page goes blank, or a feature temporarily blocks the user.

These are small moments with a big impact, and the old screens weren’t helping. They felt flat, disconnected from the product, and unintentionally made already stressful situations feel worse.

Edge cases are the points where trust is tested. A confusing or alarming error screen can make a user panic or drop off entirely. We wanted these screens to feel calm, cohesive, and human, turning frustrating moments into reassuring ones.


I initiated the redesign and led the visual direction. I researched competitor approaches, defined a modular isometric illustration style, and worked with my team to align everything with Accord, our in-house design system for illustration, motion, and sound. We kept the colors neutral and props contextual to everyday life, so even an error screen felt approachable.

The project delivered a unified and scalable edge case visual system across Axis Bank’s products. Users now encounter softer, friendlier screens instead of jarring errors, improving overall trust and consistency in the digital experience.
