01

Overview

Lumen set out to make personal finance feel calm instead of overwhelming. I designed and built a web app that brings every account, budget and savings goal into one beautifully clear dashboard.

02

The challenge

Users were juggling several banking apps and spreadsheets, and the early prototype was slow, cluttered and hard to trust with sensitive data.

03

The solution

A modular dashboard built with Next.js and TypeScript, featuring real-time charts, smart budget categories and a secure Node.js API. Every screen was designed in Figma first, then refined through rounds of usability testing.

04

The outcome

A fast, focused product that people understand at a glance, backed by a scalable codebase the team can keep extending with confidence.
