Turning a moment into momentum

I led the end-to-end design of a companion app for TurboTax customers who needed help making their biggest paycheck of the year work harder for them. By giving users access to their refund on a smart spending card, we helped them save, track their credit score, and build healthy money habits through motivational streaks, milestones, and rewards. The experience turned a one-time payday into lasting financial momentum—and year-round engagement with the brand.

Users see their refund land and immediately get a sense of control, exploring ways to make that moment go further while enjoying a simple, engaging experience.

Every milestone comes with recognition, turning small wins into motivating moments that keep users moving forward.

Clear guidance and visible progress make users feel in control, encouraging them to act with confidence and see tangible results from their efforts.
