Project Overview:
Wealth Willow wasn’t built to follow old rules — it was built to rewrite them. Designed for university students caught between impulse and intention, SpendTrack turns financial control into a mindset, not a punishment. Through deep user research, live interviews, behaviour mapping, and relentless iteration, I crafted an app that speaks to the emotions behind money, not just the math. This isn’t budgeting as you know it — this is financial freedom, reimagined through the sharpest lens of design, strategy, and human behaviour.
Objectives:
- Disrupt Emotional Spending at the Source:
Through dozens of user interviews and emotional mapping exercises, I uncovered where impulse buys ignite — and engineered Wealth Willow to intercept them with reflection, strategy, and self-awareness, all in real time. - Build Tools for Real Power:
Prototypes weren’t sketches — they were weapons. I created living, evolving tools that made budgeting feel powerful, visual, and rewarding. Every feature was pressure-tested through user feedback to flip the story: from restriction to radical empowerment. - Ignite a Movement, Not Just an App:
Wealth Willow isn’t a tool you hide — it’s a badge you wear. Community challenges, live leaderboards, and shared milestones transformed saving money into a competitive, addictive movement. Alone, you survive. Together, you thrive.
Scope of Work:
Wealth Willow didn’t happen by accident — it was built through obsession:
- Conducted deep user interviews and journey mapping to unearth the emotional roots of spending behavior.
- Developed and tested high-fidelity prototypes, refining every flow through live user feedback and iteration.
- Designed the Willow — a living metaphor of financial progress that taps into human emotion, pride, and momentum.
- Engineered gamified milestones and challenges that weaponize motivation and create viral social proof.
- Built a digital experience where the psychology of money is as seamless as the interface itself.
Wealth Willow isn’t an app — it’s a revolution in how a generation thinks, feels, and wins with money.
