Sometimes, a project just clicks.
That was the case with Affluence. I met Dharshan on Contra and we immediately connected. His idea felt genuinely interesting: helping people treat their time with the same respect they usually give to their money.
Affluence was never meant to be just another focus app. It needed a point of view, a bit of attitude, and a strong personality. Inspired by Ugly Cash, the goal was to create something that felt memorable, playful, and different from the usual productivity tools.

My role:

Starting from the initial designs, my role was to improve the UX and shape the product into something more distinctive. I worked across the app experience, refining flows, strengthening the visual direction, and helping the product feel more ownable and engaging. And honestly, I think we got there.

Outcome

This was one of the most fun app projects I have worked on in a long time. Dharshan gave me a brief and few references, then trusted me to explore, suggest, and push ideas further. Very quickly, the relationship became more than just a client gig. It felt like two founders thinking through the same product together.
Affluence is a product I am genuinely proud of, and I am so happy to see it live on the App Store (https://apps.apple.com/it/app/affluence-time-wallet/id6760613541?l=en-GB).
