Develop a tool that helps young adults evaluate and prepare for their financial future. Conduct a market analysis of existing tools and user research to identify a potential way to alleviate (some of) the stress associated with financial planning.

Initially, three interviews were conducted with people of varying levels of financial expertise to understand what existing tools are most helpful to them. Then, I created a brief risk management activity to understand what kind of goals young adults create and how they reevaluate them.

I began exploring potential purposes of the financial planning tool through storyboarding, user interviews, and more. Ultimately, I decided that my tool was to be a one-off experience that initially separates personal goals from monetary boundaries.

The tool's purpose breaks traditional financial planning norms and encourages deep personal introspection. This led me to create a simple, comforting user interface and visual aesthetic.
