User Research

By talking with our student peers we identified a common need to become a more conscious shopper. Research shows that 41% of Generation Z consumers are impulse buyers, followed by Millennials at 34%, and Generation X at 32%.

Personas

To guide our design decisions we developed three user personas with the aim of helping them with their financial planning and saving management for young adults between 18-24 years old.
