IMPACT
It was a great experience collaborating with the CEO and engineers to develop this web app from scratch. I was able to turn my design into an interactive prototype receiving great feedback. As the first in-house product of FinityOne, we are all very proud of our work. The product is currently under development.
LEARNING & REFLECTION
FinityMoney is the first web app I 100% owned from scratch to deliver in the industry. I have invested a lot of research, time, and creativity into brining it to life. Now look back at it, I can see a lot of imperfections on the design process and potential improvements on the visual language due to experience and time limitations. However, it brought me a lot of confidence as a product designer who can lead and deliver quality design under pressure.
If I had more time, I would:
Conduct a more robust usability testing to avoid critical usability issues
Prefect the visual and micro-interactions
Improve the layout for better real-estate usage
