The question
What if we could make the invisible emotions around money visible through a playful digital character?
The idea
Money isn't just about numbers.
Money isn't just about numbers. It can make us feel excited, anxious, proud, or overwhelmed, sometimes all at once.
What if we could make those invisible emotions visible through a playful digital character?
The experiment
Feelings, given a face.
I created Money Has Feelings, a tiny interactive experience that transforms everyday money emotions into an expressive, animated character.
Through color, movement, and personality, the character brings financial feelings to life, inviting users to explore how they relate to money.
What I explored
Three questions in one small character.
Emotional design
Making abstract financial feelings tangible through visual expression.
Playful interaction
Using character animation and micro-interactions to create moments of delight.
AI-assisted prototyping
Exploring how quickly an imaginative concept can become a working interactive experience.
The takeaway
Expressive interfaces might make conversations about money feel more human and approachable.
A playful exploration, not a finished product.
