Tackle real-world UX and product design challenges to build your skills and portfolio and create impactful solutions.
Users frequently subscribe to multiple digital services, such as streaming platforms, SaaS tools, and memberships, often forgetting about recurring payments that accumulate over time. Many struggle with tracking, modifying, or canceling these subscriptions due to unclear billing cycles, hidden auto-renewals, and difficult cancellation flows. As a result, they face unexpected charges and feel a lack of control over their finances
Many users struggle to manage their finances effectively due to a lack of clear insights into their spending habits, saving potential, and financial health. While personal finance apps exist, they often provide overwhelming data without actionable recommendations. Users need a smarter way to interpret their financial behaviors and receive proactive guidance.
Wishlists are often used privately, but many shopping moments are shared—birthdays, group gifting, events, or shared interests. Today’s wishlists don’t support collaboration or feedback. A shared, social wishlist experience could help users plan, coordinate, and discover together—without needing a separate app or chat thread.
In SaaS platforms, repetitive tasks can slow down workflows and decrease productivity. Whether it’s data entry, status updates, or task assignments, automating these processes can save valuable time. However, current automation tools can be rigid or hard to configure. A flexible, intelligent task automation system could streamline everyday work while maintaining control.
In marketplaces with multiple sellers (like handmade goods, vintage platforms, or food delivery), a single purchase may involve several independent vendors. But the payment experience often hides this complexity, leading to confusion over delivery, charges, and refunds. A more transparent, modular checkout flow can help users stay informed and confident.
Customer feedback is scattered across surveys, reviews, and social media. For managers like Olivia, manually analyzing this feedback is time-consuming and inefficient. An automated tool could collect, analyze, and categorize feedback in real time, providing clear sentiment insights and empowering teams to take immediate action.
Many users are unaware of their credit scores and how they impact financial decisions. Credit score tracking apps often provide data without actionable insights, leaving users confused about how to improve their financial standing. A solution that simplifies credit monitoring and offers personalized credit-building strategies can empower users to make better financial decisions.
As SaaS companies scale, maintaining a motivated, high-performing workforce becomes more complex. HR leaders like Natalie need tools that go beyond annual reviews—ones that enable continuous feedback, track progress toward goals, and support each employee’s development journey with personalized insights.
Sending money to friends, family, or businesses should be seamless, yet many users experience unnecessary friction when making peer-to-peer (P2P) payments. Issues such as unclear transaction statuses, verification delays, and confusing payment flows lead to frustration and failed transactions
Freelancers and gig workers face challenges in managing taxes due to fluctuating income, lack of employer-provided documentation, and confusing tax requirements. Many rely on expensive accountants or spend hours manually organizing transactions. A more intuitive and automated tax filing solution can help self-employed individuals track income, maximize deductions, and file taxes seamlessly.
Investing is essential for financial growth, yet many people avoid it due to complex jargon, unclear risk levels, and overwhelming data. While investment platforms exist, they often cater to experienced investors, leaving beginners disengaged. A more user-friendly, educational investment experience is needed—one that simplifies decision-making and builds confidence for first-time investors.
Many shopping platforms offer loyalty points or rewards, but users often forget they exist—or don’t understand how to use them. The experience is buried, inconsistent, or overly gamified. A more visible, intuitive reward system could drive engagement, repeat purchases, and make users feel appreciated without needing to “figure it out.”
Group buying lets users access discounts by purchasing with others, but most implementations feel clunky, confusing, or overly gamified. Participants often don’t understand how it works, what’s required, or when it’s successful. A smoother experience could turn group buying into a trusted, social way to save—without turning it into a guessing game.
As teams grow, managing user permissions within a SaaS platform becomes increasingly complex. Different users need access to different data, features, and tools based on their roles. A flexible, scalable user permissions system ensures that sensitive information is protected while allowing teams to collaborate effectively.
