A living product development journal
I’m exploring why financial decisions can feel so overwhelming, even when people know something needs to change. This is an ongoing record of the conversations, experiments, decisions, and lessons shaping a financial education product.
The broader opportunity is financial insecurity. For this first journey, I’m narrowing in on one problem and the people living with it: people currently carrying credit card debt.
