Has minimalism gone too far or are we finally designing with intention?
Over the past year, I've noticed more fintech products moving away from colorful interfaces toward restrained, monochrome design systems.
I don't think it's because color is disappearing, I think it's because we're relying less on decoration and more on typography, spacing, hierarchy, and thoughtful use of color.
In this concept, I challenged myself to use black, white, and a single accent color only where it adds meaning, not decoration.
Curious where you stand: Are monochrome interfaces the future of fintech, or do they risk becoming too sterile?
Happy New Month! 🚀🫴😌

Practice a difficult conversation before you actually have it. We designed a virtual character that feels like the person you are about to talk to.
The profile screen pulls from Slack, Notion, Workday, email, and calendar to build a picture of how Jeremy communicates, what drives him, and how he tends to respond under pressure.
The design choice was to make the profile feel like a person. Each scenario comes with a goal and the leadership skills it targets, communication, ownership, and decision confidence. When you walk into the real conversation, you have already had a trial run.
That's a beautiful design there
Introducing KEEPS: A Digital Home for Physical Memories
KEEPS is a mobile app designed to preserve the physical objects that carry our memories.
While most memory apps are built around photos, KEEPS is built around everything else.
Concert tickets, boarding passes, receipts, handwritten notes, invitations, conference badges, and other small objects that people often keep long after their practical purpose has ended.
The idea came from a simple observation: many of us keep these items because they represent experiences, relationships, milestones, and moments we don’t want to forget. Over time, they become scattered across drawers, wallets, books, and boxes, making them difficult to revisit and easy to lose.
KEEPS transforms these physical keepsakes into digital artifacts.
Users can scan real objects, remove backgrounds, add contextual information such as location, date, people, and personal notes, and organize them into custom collections. Artifacts can also be created from templates, allowing users to recreate memories that no longer exist physically.
The prototype includes onboarding, collections, artifact detail pages, discovery flows, creation flows, profile experiences, and a connected navigation system that allows users to move through their archive naturally.
Rather than generating the entire product in a single prompt, I used Flowstep as a design engineering tool.
I started with a visual direction created in Figma, including custom illustrations, typography, layout systems, and the overall structure.
From there, I rebuilt the product inside Flowstep screen by screen, using detailed prompts to define hierarchy, spacing, interactions, navigation patterns, and user flows.
Each screen became the foundation for the next. Existing components were reused, refined, and expanded to create a cohesive design system across the entire application. The process was highly iterative: generating, reviewing, refining, and rebuilding until the product felt consistent both visually and functionally.
The result is not simply a collection of screens, but a connected prototype with clear user journeys, interaction logic, and product intent.
KEEPS is built around a simple belief:
The smallest objects often carry the biggest memories.
