What is a RUX Challenge?

Design Problem
Create a better UI/UX Design Concept for our Spend Analyzer Mobile App that will be used to help customers manage and track their spending. This “Spend Analyzer” mobile application is part (sub-module) of our larger system, but we want to explore a better “Spend Analyzer” design concept for our mobile customer experience. Not only is this challenge focused on user experience (UX) but also customer experience (CX).
User Journey

- Alternatively, using native gestures, user can explore different facets of transaction history
- We are looking for fresh concepts and ideas on the UI/UX interactions for this application experience.
