Unique Properties: This app is a money management & saving app for young people. For each user's different financial management capabilities, we will make different financial savings plans for them. Help users to set saving goals. This App encourage users to manage and save money and achieve their personal savings goals by using this App.
Dimensions & Packaging: Designed for the iOS System
Tags: Mobile Application, Interaction, UX, UI, User Centred, Mental Health, User Research, Design Thinking
Production Technology: Mainly use XD to make user interface, AI is used to make illustrations.
Design Challenge: The difficulty of this project is how to provide users with a deposit plan that suits them and make users really like using this app. The target users are mainly young people. Therefore, I have done a lot of surveys on young people’s financial habits and researched young people’s psychology. In the end, I added a reward mechanism to the APP. Users can get additional rewards offered by the APP when you complete the small goals and the saving plan. At the same time, a relatively young and energetic style is also adopted in the design style.
Research: Ziyi first conducted background research and used many research tools such as Google surveys to conduct interviews. The results show that most young millennials, which GBR defines as those between 18 and 24 years old, had less than 1,000 dollars in their savings accounts. Nearly half had nothing saved at all. There are relatively few apps on the market for saving money and young people. Young people’s awareness of saving money needs to be cultivated. Therefore, this app helps users make a good saving habit, cultivate financial knowledge, and invest in their own future.
Inspiration: Young people are the future of a country.It is important to cultivate young people's awareness of saving money. Ziyi did further surveys and interviews. The report showed that there is no APP to help young people manage their money. Many young people want financial help.But they don't know how to start. So Ziyi created this app.
Project Duration: This project started in April 2020 and was finished in August 2020 in Pasadena, ArtCenter College of Design.
Operation Flow: When the user downloads the app, during the registration process, the app will collect the user's necessary information, and set up a small deposit goal for the user to provide users with better services. After logging into the main interface, the user will see his deposit, goals, and recommended saving plans. Before turning on the saving function, the user will conduct a test to check the user's financial management ability. After the test is completed, the user can immediately see their feedback, and the app recommends the user a suitable saving plan for them. When the deposit plan or saving goals are achieved, users can get dividends in the app.
