How might we communicate financial jargon in simple terms so that customers new to finance feel empowered?

–Project how might we

The challenge

The team needed to understand which customer needs were underserved and assess how new capabilities could fit meaningfully into the existing app experience.

“I want a better way to understand and track my finances.

–Research insights

My contribution

I combined customer research, journey mapping and market exploration to clarify behaviours, expectations and opportunities.

We helped evaluate product and partnership options against customer needs, working across design, product and relevant business stakeholders.

Alongside delivery, I coached designers and strengthened the team’s strategic design capability.

What the work enabled

A clearer understanding of customer needs, evidence to inform product choices, a practical direction for further development and a successful white label acquisition.
