The project
Design goals
- Guide beginners through onboarding and their first trades.
- Keep market data and educational content easy to scan.
- Provide a simulator for practice before trading with real money.
What I learned
Learning tools need to sit close to the decisions they explain. The simulator offers a place to practice; forums and expert insights offer a place to ask questions.

Understanding the user
Interview participants felt overwhelmed by trading and unsure how it worked. They wanted explanations they could use while learning the process.
Pain points
- Limited educational resources.
