The next gen of personal finance management apps that leveraging AI and account data to provide a personalized and tailored financial overviews.
Nello AI is a Personal Finance Manager app founded by a team at Neonomics frustrated with legacy financial services not having the consumers in mind.
With the cost-of-living crisis and large corporations only pushing for further consumerism and algorithms designed to make people spend more, Nello is built using modern open banking and AI technology to help customers build the lives they want and spend on things that actually mean something to them.
These are some of the concepts we were working on
My role
I worked at Neonomics as a junior designer for four months, during which I had the opportunity to be involved in the entire product development process, from initial concept to launch. While the app and its concepts are still evolving through testing and iteration, what you see here reflects my contributions leading up to the launch. It was an incredible experience to see the project take shape and play a role in bringing it to life.
The process
Before diving into this project, we conducted extensive research, including benchmarking, gathering industry insights, competitor analysis, interviews, and multiple workshops. In these workshops, we explored tasks, brainstormed ideas, asked critical questions, and engaged in meaningful discussions about the topic. We also conducted usability testing on the initial wireframes to ensure a user-centered approach. In addition, we held many internal meetings and workshops, working together as a united team.
I had the privilege of working with a talented and creative team and collaborated closely with my amazing manager, Jahde Vaccani, on both research and design. I was entrusted with significant responsibility early on, which helped me grow my skills even further.
The project was not only a fantastic learning experience but also an incredibly fun journey!
