The Framework
01 — What I Observed
Travel groups managing expenses across spreadsheets, payment apps, and chat. Fragmented, frustrating, conflict-prone.
02 — What I Questioned
Why does settling always happen at the end? What if clarity happened in real time? Full travel guide or focused payment gateway?
03 — What I Changed
Payment gateway only — one job done exceptionally. Flow: Create Group → Add Expense → Auto Split → View Balance → Settle via UPI. Card sorting guided IA. Empathy map revealed the emotional arc.
04 — What Happened
Complete prototyped product. 5 usability test participants. 8/10 confidence. Simplified settlements. No more awkward post-trip money conversations.
The Story
The problem: group travel expenses are messy, awkward, and always settled wrong.
The insight: users don't struggle to find a payment app. They struggle with the awkward conversation that comes after. Design for that moment.
Key decision: payment gateway only. A focused product does one job exceptionally.
Process: Empathy map → Persona → CJM → Card sorting → User flow → IA → Wireframes → Visual design → Prototype → Usability testing.
What this proves: end-to-end product thinking. Research → Insight → Decision → System → Screen.

Design System
Royal Blue + Dusty Pink + Aubergine
Warm but trustworthy. Not clinical like a banking app, not playful like a game.
