PeerPocket – Personal Finance Management Application
Many people struggle to manage their finances effectively, often forgetting to record expenses, overspending their budgets, and finding existing financial dashboards too complex. The goal of PeerPocket is to design a mobile application that organizes personal financial data, provides clear insights, and helps users plan and control their spending.
01 / Process
How the work unfolded
PeerPocket was developed as part of a research-based project using the Design Thinking methodology.
The process included:
- Empathize – Conducted surveys and interviews to identify users’ pain points in financial management (difficulty recording expenses, ineffective budgeting, lack of reminders).
- Define – Created user personas, empathy maps, and user journey maps to better understand user needs.
- Ideate – Brainstormed solutions, including quick expense recording, budget alerts, category tagging, and simplified dashboards.
- Prototype – Designed low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes in Figma, focusing on simplicity and accessibility.
- Test – Conducted usability evaluation with UEQ (Usability Evaluation Questionnaire). Results showed strong attractiveness, clarity, and stimulation, though improvements were needed in efficiency and novelty.
The final prototype provided a structured, user-friendly application concept to support users in better financial management. PeerPocket was developed as a project for the Human-Computer Interaction course, where it received a perfect score.
