BancoBud
Your money, with a buddy in your corner
Project Snapshot
Role: UI/UX Designer
Timeline: 2020, extended to responsive desktop & iPad in 2026
Tools: Figma + Claude Design, Adobe Photoshop
Scope: Research → Prototyping → Usability testing → Hi-fi → Responsive extension
The Problem
Saving for real-life goals is easy to start and hard to judge: is €250/month toward a Bali trip realistic, or will it wreck your essentials? Most finance apps track what you spent, none tell you honestly whether your plan actually fits your money.
The Solution: Key Screens
Onboarding lives on mobile, where people actually sign up. iPad and desktop pick up from there.
Core App Screens
Once you're in, here's the everyday app
Responsive Design (iPad + Desktop)
Same buddy, adapted for bigger screens.
Process — Lo-fi wireframes
First version of a savings goal — a plain progress number. This became the confidence-score verdict in the current design.
Status: BancoBud is a design concept, fully prototyped in Claude Design, not yet a live product. Everything you've seen here, from onboarding to the responsive dashboard, is real, clickable UI, just not connected to a real backend or actual money.
If I did this again, I'd focus on researching what users really need, to understand the core of the problem deeper.
What's next: BancoBud, Part 2, from design to code. I'm planning to build this out as a working frontend and share the repo, a natural next step for a project that started as a sketch in 2020.
Style Guide
Outcome
Early version of the transaction list — testing name/date/amount as a manual entry form before deciding the app should track this automatically.
