The goal was to design an easy to use budgeting tool that can be used across multiple devices and is tailored to students and their financial situation. I wanted the branding and aesthetic to be fun and not typical of the sector to help make a potentially tedious task of keeping on top of your finances into something effortless and engaging.
I looked at the onboarding section as this is crucial in creating a useful tool for students wanting to keep track of their finances and potentially the most complex part. This is divided into three sections that follow a logical path: Inputting regular income, setting aside some for savings and allocating the remainder across different budget categories that are specific to students.
The brand was more in line with other services aimed at students rather than other financial or banking services. I designed brand assets and put together guidelines to ensure the tool had a cohesive and distinctive style.
The below mockups show the user flow from signing in, inputting initial budget information to seeing the balance on the home screen.
