Project Story: AI Finance Assistant
The idea for AI Finance Assistant came from a simple observation: many people want to manage their money better, but most finance apps overwhelm users with charts, numbers, and complex financial terminology.
I wanted to explore how artificial intelligence could make personal finance feel more approachable, conversational, and supportive.
The concept began as a mobile experience where users could not only track their finances but also interact with an AI assistant capable of providing personalized financial guidance.
The project started with a broad question:
“How might we make financial management feel less intimidating and more helpful?”
This is where Stitch became an important part of my workflow.
Instead of immediately focusing on colors, screens, and visual details, Stitch helped me think through the structure of the experience. I used it during the early stages of ideation to explore user flows, screen organization, and information hierarchy.
Stitch helped me rapidly experiment with:
• Dashboard layouts • Analytics structures • AI chat experiences • User navigation patterns • Feature prioritization
By accelerating the planning stage, I was able to spend more time refining the actual user experience in Figma.
The final concept includes three primary experiences:
Dashboard: A clean financial overview showing balances, spending trends, and AI-generated recommendations.
AI Assistant: A conversational interface where users can ask financial questions and receive personalized suggestions.
Analytics: A visual breakdown of spending behavior with smart insights designed to help users make better financial decisions.
One of the key design decisions was creating a modern fintech aesthetic using dark themes, gradient accents, glassmorphism-inspired cards, and smooth prototype transitions.
The project also incorporates interaction design through animated navigation and screen transitions to create a realistic product experience.
The biggest lesson from this project was understanding that great products begin with clear problem-solving before visual design.
Stitch helped accelerate the transition from idea to structure, while Figma enabled me to transform those ideas into a fully interactive prototype.
As a beginner UI/UX designer, this project strengthened my understanding of product thinking, user-centered design, prototyping, and how AI tools can support the creative process without replacing it.
