Meridian
Mobile Banking App
Meridian is a retail banking app built to a single brief: make a balance mean something — turn a list of transactions into an answer about the month ahead.

The Challenge
A balance is not an answer
Banking apps manage to be honest and useless in the same breath. They show the number sitting in the account and leave the visitor to work out what it means once rent, the card bill and four standing orders have gone out.
The brief was to close that gap without turning the product into a spreadsheet, and without pretending to predict things a bank cannot know.
The Approach
How we worked
Start from the question
Every screen was drafted as the answer to a sentence somebody would say out loud. Screens that answered no question were cut before they were designed.
Commit to one number
The interface leads with safe-to-spend rather than the raw balance, with the arithmetic one tap away. Showing both with equal weight would have restored the confusion it set out to remove.
Design the uncertain state first
Pending transactions, irregular income and the first week of a new account are the normal case, not the edge case. Those were designed before the happy path.
Build a system, not screens
Tokens, spacing and motion were fixed early so later features could be added without renegotiating the visual language every time.
The Solution
One number, and the reasoning behind it
The product opens on a single figure and a short sentence explaining how it was reached. Committed outgoings are already deducted, so the number never has to be mentally adjusted.
Everything else — the breakdown, the calendar of upcoming payments, the category view — sits one level down, reached deliberately rather than met by accident.
Inside the product
What it actually does
The Outcome
What it settled
- A single, explainable headline number replaces a raw balance
- Upcoming commitments are visible before they land
- A token-based system the roadmap can extend without redesign
- Mobile-first throughout, not a desktop layout squeezed down
