FlowFund

A freelancer's income doesn't arrive on the 1st and 15th. It arrives whenever the client finally pays the invoice — sometimes in three installments, sometimes six weeks late.

Every budgeting app on the market assumes a salary. FlowFund was designed to assume nothing except uncertainty — and help users feel less afraid of it.

The core challenge wasn't the math. It was the emotion. Users didn't need more data — they needed to feel in control of data they already had.

Every design decision had to reduce anxiety, not add to it. That meant no red negative numbers. No alarming empty states. No "you've overspent" warnings without a clear next action.

I anchored the entire visual language to calm confidence. Dark mode (easier on the eyes during late-night invoice chasing), green as the primary action color (not red), and a dashboard that showed your next 30 days of projected income before it showed your current balance.

The principle: if a component references a hardcoded hex value, it's not part of the system — it's just a Figma frame with a label on it.
