Perch Credit is a mobile app that allows users to report rent, phone bills, online subscriptions, and more to start building their credit score without any prior experience.
I joined the Perch team in the middle of the their initial development, however my goal was to take a new look on monthly cost tracking.
The Challenge
Because this company was quite new in its development, there was an emphasis on function over look. I had 3 design goals:
1. Intuitively visualize cost and credit tracking.
2. Use easy-to-understand features to understand spending within common categories.
3. Create a sense of familiarity with the way the app works, basing a lot of the features on other cost-tracking apps.
The Main Features:
1. Credit + Cost Tracking: Show users their monthly spending based on certain categories. Help users to save on monthly costs and build credit.
The Prototypes:
The Main Features:
2. Educate: Provide users with a way to better understand their credit. Show users how their spending affects their credit.
The Prototypes:
