Digital Wallet
July 2025 - Figma
This digital wallet app was born from a frustration most people know too well: juggling multiple banking apps just to get a complete picture of personal finances. The constant logins and fragmented information sparked the idea for a unified solution that puts all your cards and financial data in one simple interface.
The design process centered on creating something accessible for everyone. A minimalist aesthetic with clean lines became the foundation because financial apps shouldn't add stress to your life, they should actually remove it.
Real-time expense tracking with visual breakdowns, consolidated card balance viewing, and payment due date notifications form the core functionality. The carousel interface lets users easily switch between accounts while providing immediate spending insights without overwhelming detail.
The goal was creating something that eliminates the need for multiple financial apps while maintaining the clean, modern experience people expect. The result makes financial awareness effortless and immediate.

Standing outside a busy restaurant, trying to decode whether that crowd means a five-minute wait or an hour-long commitment, happens more often than anyone would like to admit. This dining uncertainty inspired the creation of a solution that brings transparency to local wait times.
Building this app meant prioritizing instant clarity for time-pressed situations, whether grabbing coffee between meetings or coordinating dinner plans. An intuitive map interface with live updates became essential because dining choices happen in the moment, and complexity kills spontaneity.
Community-driven wait reporting, AI restaurant identification, and smart favorites tracking power the main features. The camera scanning addresses discovering interesting spots without knowing their names, while user comments add context that raw numbers can't provide.
The challenge was building trust in crowd-sourced data. The result eliminates guesswork from dining decisions through reliable, community-verified information.

Walking down the skincare aisle can feel overwhelming when faced with hundreds of products promising results, yet having no clear understanding of what skin actually needs.
Creating this app meant addressing the knowledge gap that makes skincare feel intimidating for beginners. Effective skincare starts with understanding what's actually happening on your face, not guessing based on marketing claims.
AI-powered skin scanning provides detailed condition analysis that translates into specific product recommendations and customized routine suggestions. Multiple daily scans let users track progress and see how their skin responds to different products over time.
Tackling this required bridging the gap between professional dermatological knowledge and accessible everyday guidance. The result demystifies skincare without overwhelming newcomers while maintaining the flexibility that different skin types demand.
