The audience & brand

Young, modern people from Kuwait - younger Millenials and Zoomers. We discovered that they’re self-assured in their Kuwaiti values and appreciate the opportunities available to them, value aesthetics as much as development & financial independence are important to them. Still, they’re interested rather than invested in it. We called them Protective Progressives - a generation who wants to experience the world around them but not at the cost of their cultural values.

Design system

Creating a design system for a youth-focused banking app combined scalable components with motion design to enhance engagement. Animations guided actions like payments, while micro-interactions added playful feedback, making tasks intuitive and fun. This approach balanced functionality with a dynamic experience tailored to tech-savvy users.

''The user interface offers immediate, dynamic responses for a fluid interaction facilitating a feeling of authority & involvement with every action.''


''The UI provides instant, animated feedback for a seamless experience, giving users a sense of control & engagement with every action''

Finding the signature moments

I opted for a simplified interaction to emphasize clarity and to align with weyay's identity of reliability and trustworthiness in finance. Transferring money becomes a easy and beautiful moment - the brad 'twist' is used as a visual device to show action. The process is controlled by users pulling their finger up and enriched by a haptic response. The same visual pattern is used to showcase voice controls.
