1. Reduce anxiety by default
Our products should lower the user’s heartbeat.We design for people who feel overwhelmed, stressed, or unsure about their next step. Every screen must pass a simple test:
“Does this make someone feel more at ease?”
2. Clarity through design
We use clean spacing, soft motion, and accessible language.We avoid financial jargon unless it’s explained plainly.
- Clear typography
- Predictable components
- No clutter
- Gentle visual hierarchy
3. Data should help, not hurt
Data is used to empower, never to shame or pressure. Examples:- “Here’s your weekly 5-minute checkup.”
- “You’re on track. Keep going.”
- “Here’s one thing you can improve, if you want to.”
