Penny

Penny is a personal finance management app designed to help users take control of their money with clarity and confidence. The app simplifies daily expense tracking, budget management, and savings planning through an intuitive and visually appealing interface. It empowers users to set personalized financial goals, monitor spending habits, and gain valuable insights through interactive charts and analytics. The design prioritizes ease of use and data visualization, making complex financial information simple and actionable. As part of the design process, I conducted user research to understand people’s financial challenges and developed wireframes, user flows, and high-fidelity prototypes using Figma. The final product focuses on improving financial awareness and promoting smarter spending habits, while maintaining a minimal, modern, and consistent design system across all screens.
