Redesigning financial account management

In Rocket Money, members link and manage financial accounts to get a full view of their financial health. I redesigned the linking experience to improve accessibility, clarity, and ease of use.

Bringing the key action within reach

Moved the primary “Add Institution” action from a small, hard-to-reach top row to a prominent bottom button—improving hierarchy and reachability.

Clarifying action hierarchy

Restyled “Unlink” as a secondary link and “Add Account” as a primary button, better reflecting user priorities and reducing confusion.

Enhancing readability with visual cues

Removed unnecessary section headers and tightened grouping, since most users have only a few accounts per institution. Added icons for faster scannability, making it easier to identify accounts at a glance.

Small changes can make a big impact

I enjoyed analyzing the smallest details and exploring how they could compound into a more cohesive, intuitive experience. By focusing on clarity, hierarchy, and usability at every touchpoint, we turned a series of small improvements into a solution that feels dramatically better overall.
