I asked AI (Figma Make) to design the worst possible fintech app. It delivered: DOGE at $0.000001, an AI screaming “SELL EVERYTHING” with 63% confidence, a portfolio somehow holding 1,337,420 ETH, and a $999.99/month paywall just to see your own balance.

Honestly? Impressive chaos.

then i spent the next few hours redesigning it from scratch — reworking hierarchy, improving accessibility, and asking one simple question: what does someone actually need from a finance app at 9am?

Turns out, not much: - know your balance - understand where your money went - get one clear, actionable next step

Same features. Completely different experience.

What’s the most infuriating thing a banking app has ever done to you? (@@@Mine: hiding the transfer limit until after you’ve confirmed the payment.)

this is great 🙌 and the before design looks very early 2000s (mine is when the app randomly freezes/crashes right as i'm confirming a payment + having a cluttered layout for sure)

I wrote the full case study for GRIDPAY

what started as a brief with three rules, no dark mode, no neon, no 3D coins, became a complete brand system

identity. landing page. physical collateral. motion. copywriting.

"No dark mode, no neon, no 3D coins" — and the result still looks this sharp?! That subway ad execution is so bold. Restraint as a design brief actually slaps.
