Barclays
– Nest

UI/Identity

Nest is for whom money may be an additional trigger for mental health issues, especially young adults aged 18 to 25. Barclays wanted to make banking a little bit easier by providing tools and support to help people manage their money better and, as a result, improve their mental wellbeing. Thus my approach was to make online banking less anxiety provoking and fun by fusing the UX with gamification.

This was a project for D&AD New Bloods Awards and I designed the UI and planned the concept of UX, also the logo and avatar Blou for the gamified banking app. Blou is a virtual AI coach, introducing users to mindful banking experience. The immersive experience is intended to naturally form money managing habits and financial goals to reduce the root cause.
