Slimvesteer
I’m handling the research, UX design, and full-stack development of the platform. We’ve built it to be clean, approachable, and ready to grow into something much bigger than a blog.
Creating a personal finance platform
Why we've started this
Slimvesteer started from a personal pain point: when I bought my first home, I noticed how complex and fragmented financial information really is. I had to piece everything together from different people—my notary, parents, online blogs, the bank.
That made me wonder: what if you don’t have that support network? What if you’re 20–25 years old, have some savings, and no idea what to do with them?
The goal
It’s not about complex investing strategies or advanced finance. It’s about helping people take their first confident step—whether it's understanding how budgeting works, learning the basics of investing, or getting a sense of what buying a home really involves.
To build the right solution, I started with user research using a Google Form survey, targeting people in their 20s and 30s. The responses confirmed what I suspected: many people feel lost. They don’t know where to start, what order to take steps in, or they’re simply afraid to lose money by making a mistake.
Based on that, I designed a platform that focuses on clarity, ease of use, and long-term scalability.
