Overview
Our goal wasn’t just to refresh the interface it was to redefine the experience. I proposed several new features and flows to make the app more proactive and user-centric, including smart alerts, quick actions, and richer visual analytics. These additions would help users stay on top of their finances without feeling overwhelmed, while the overall redesign would elevate the brand with a modern, cohesive design language.
The client had an existing finance app that had been on the market for a while but felt outdated and underwhelming for today’s users. The design was cluttered, navigation wasn’t intuitive, and important actions were buried deep in the interface. Despite these challenges, the app had a loyal user base and valuable functionality it just needed a complete experience overhaul. When I first joined the project, I conducted a heuristic evaluation to understand the existing pain points and opportunities. The findings were clear: users were struggling with complexity, visual hierarchy issues, and a lack of guidance. This became the foundation for a full redesign strategy focused on clarity, engagement, and simplicity.

The Challenge
Finance apps are often perceived as functional but dull, leading to low engagement. The existing app lacked personality and felt outdated, making financial management seem like a chore rather than a simple, empowering experience.
The goal was to transform a complex, numbers-heavy experience into something intuitive, approachable, and even enjoyableall while ensuring users could accomplish core tasks effortlessly: tracking expenses, monitoring budgets, and managing cards with confidence.

The Solution
We started by conducting a heuristic evaluation of the existing app to identify usability gaps and redundant flows. The goal was to modernize the experience while maintaining clarity and trust. We introduced a clean, scalable design system that supports both light and dark modes for accessibility and personalization features users expect in modern financial products.
To make the experience personal and engaging, we implemented: • Personalized dashboard showing key financial insights relevant to the user. • Visual-first analytics like pie charts and progress bars for intuitive expense tracking. • Smart alerts and contextual feedback to keep users informed without overwhelming them. • Streamlined card management with quick actions and a dashboard-like feel. • Elegant UI patterns to ensure the app looks professional while still approachable.
