01 / Brief

LIO was designed as a mobile onboarding experience built around a structured financial survey. The goal was to guide users through a set of questions, analyse their financial situation, and recommend relevant products and services based on their answers.

I was brought in by Smartpurse for a short contract to design the onboarding experience and visual direction. The product was primarily aimed at women, with a strong emphasis on clarity, trust, and emotional comfort when discussing personal finances.

02 / Research & Approach

The challenge was to turn a potentially intimidating financial questionnaire into a friendly, supportive experience. The approach focused on:

  • designing a step-by-step onboarding flow centred around a clear survey structure
  • reducing cognitive load through visual grouping and progressive disclosure
  • using soft colour palettes and rounded UI elements to build trust and approachability
  • framing financial analysis as guidance rather than assessment
  • ensuring the flow felt conversational and respectful, particularly for a female audience

The design balanced data collection with empathy, helping users feel in control rather than evaluated.

03 / Results

The final outcome was a coherent onboarding experience that guided users from first interaction through financial analysis and personalised product matching.

Impact

Turned a complex financial assessment into a simple, friendly onboarding flow
Helped users quickly understand their situation and feel confident about next steps
Created a strong entry point for personalised product matching and long-term engagement
