Research-

• I started by conducting user interviews and surveys to understand the common pain points in managing expenses and splitting bills. Users expressed the need for a simple way to track spending, divide costs fairly, and set financial goals.

  
  

  
  

Planning-

• Detailed expense tracking with analytics - Log every expense and view pending bills and see amounts used, remaining, and upcoming due dates.

  
  

• Seamless bill splitting among friends - Categorize expenses, select friends, and track owed/owing amounts. Choose equal shares or customize with percentages.

  
  

• Goal setting and budget management - Set and manage budgets for each category. Add budgeted amounts and due dates effortlessly.

  
  

• Consistent user experience - A search bar to find contacts quickly. View chats, payments, and specifics, send messages or make payments directly. Print receipts for completed payments.

  
  

  
  

Design System-

• The layout has 4-column grid with 16px margins and 20px gutters creates a clean and organized interface.

  
  

• The color palette I opted for a professional yet approachable feel by using deep blues and grays for core elements, accented with soft pastels for highlights. This combination promotes a sense of trust and keeps the interface visually engaging.

  
  

• I used Poppins font for its clean, modern feel, suitable for a fintech application.

Wireframes and Prototyping-

• Using Figma, I created wireframes to visualize the app's layout and user flow. This helped me map out the essential features and interactions. I then developed interactive prototypes to test with users, ensuring that the design met their needs and expectations.
