BE THE BROKER
After selecting an already-made app, Spending Tracker, I was tasked to redesign the app in an enjoyable way for users and change the user's overall experience. In the rebrand, I wanted to modernize the design and add new features to the app in the prototyping process. With a new name and new features, Be the Broker was created. While managing your finances is not something most enjoy, I wanted to change that with this app. The app makes managing money enjoyable and painless with fun transitional screens, step-by-step instructions, color coordination, and customization.
App Design
Spending Tracker is a free app available in the app store. While the app is functional, it needed a facelift in both the UI and UX departments. Spending Tracker, while not very pleasing to the eye, offers some great features like manual entries, customization, and easy accessibility to their banking.

Rebrand
With the original name needing a revamp, I came up with Be the Broker, with the tagline "Don't be broke, be the Broker" to help signify the app wants to help you better understand your finances. When creating the icon widget, I included the B to create an app that stood out amongst the users' home screen apps.

Hi-Fi Wireframes
At the beginning of my process, I created an initial set of wireframes to help the layout be consistent and follow all possible user flows. There were initially 30 high fidelity wireframes created.
Transitional Splash Screens
To create a more engaging experience for the user, I created fun transition screens that played into the app's functionality to make navigating the app more exciting and enjoyable.
When moving to the prototyping stage, I wanted to cover as many user paths as possible. With the purpose of the app to better manage one’s finances, multiple transactions are needed to be inputted ted by the user and categorized. In completion, the prototype consists of over 80 screens.
