Feel calm and in control of your finances
Budgeting feels overwhelming and emotionally draining for many users.
Many people find traditional budgeting apps focus too much on numbers and rules, overlooking the emotional challenges like anxiety and guilt. This often causes users to avoid budgeting altogether or feel discouraged when they slip up. The problem is creating a budgeting experience that supports users emotionally while helping them manage their money confidently.
I began looking to solve a problem with simplifying daily money management
When I started my research, I was focused on how people track their spending and stick to a budget. My initial idea centered around helping users log budget goals and visualize their money in one easy-to-use place.
Create a budgeting app that reduces stress and builds confidence through simplicity and emotional support.
The goal was to design a product that helps users feel calm and in control of their finances by offering a judgment-free, easy to use experience. I aimed to develop an app that encourages positive money habits while addressing the emotional barriers that often stop people from budgeting consistently.
Final Design
Through user testing sessions, I gathered valuable feedback on my mid-fidelity prototype. Users appreciated the simplicity and automation in the design and liked how personalized guidance was praised but some found it overwhelming. Testing revealed that combining easy automation with gentle, visual encouragement best supports users in feeling confident and judged-free while managing money.
Based on interviews and user testing, it became clear that current financial platforms often lack emotional support and simplicity. Users felt overwhelmed, judged, or unsure of where to start. PiggyBank was designed to shift that experience, offering calm, intuitive tools that guide users through budgeting without pressure. Every element of the final product reflects a more thoughtful and empowering way to manage money.
