Project: App Design & Development
Role: Lead UI/UX Designer
FairShare is a mobile app that helps groups split expenses easily and accurately. By combining receipt scanning, smart tracking, and payment integration, it eliminates the confusion and friction of managing shared costs.
As the UI/UX designer and researcher, I focused on creating a clean, intuitive experience rooted in user needs — from initial research to branding, design, and testing.
Splitting group expenses is often frustrating and disorganized. Our research showed that half of our users disliked manually tracking bills, and most admitted to forgetting to split costs altogether — leading to misunderstandings and unpaid balances.
We set out to design a tool that would simplify this process with automation, transparency, and ease of use.
I was responsible for leading research and shaping the product’s design from the ground up:
FairShare was one of my biggest learning experiences. It was the first time I worked directly with a development team while focusing entirely on design. This taught me how to design with implementation in mind — thinking not just about what looks good, but what works and translates well into code.
I also grew more confident in leading design decisions across multiple stages of the project, and learned how to advocate for user needs while collaborating with other disciplines.
