FlexSave.
FlexSave began as a university UX/UI project focused on storing and managing coupons. The original design reflects an early stage of my design-learning journey. I’m now exploring a new direction around nearby offers, contextual recommendations, saving offers and more structured navigation.

Original coupon-wallet prototype; the current redesign is represented by one work-in-progress interface preview.

- Original concept: five-day sprint · 2025; redesign in progress
I created FlexSave early in my university design journey. I’m revisiting it now to apply what I’ve learned about UX and interface design, starting with how people discover offers and find their way through the experience. The older screens document where the project began; the new preview shows a direction I’m still working through.
01 / CONTEXT
Problem and response
Challenge
The original project explored how to store and manage scattered coupons. The redesign asks how people might discover relevant nearby offers before deciding what to save; this is a design question, not a validated user finding.
Response
Revisit the wallet-led concept with a discovery-led entry point, contextual offer presentation and more structured navigation. The new direction is still being explored.
02 / CONTRIBUTION
My contribution
Original university concept
- +Designed the coupon wallet, offer-detail screens, add-coupon overlay and sharing concepts.
- +Created interactive Figma flows and high-fidelity screens during an early five-day university sprint.
Redesign exploration
- +Revisiting the information hierarchy to introduce location and discovery before individual offer details.
- +Exploring more prominent offer imagery, contextual cues, saving offers and clearer navigation. The supplied preview is an early design direction, not a completed flow.
03 / DECISIONS
How the system took shape
- 01
Information hierarchy: the original wallet leads with coupon counts and stored retailer cards. The new preview leads with location, nearby/trending cues and Today’s Discoveries, shifting attention towards finding an offer.
- 02
Offer presentation: the older screens emphasise retailer logos, discount values and redemption controls. The preview uses a larger product image, discount, merchant name, rating and View Details action. Its counts, rating and offer details are sample interface content, not verified live data.
- 03
Discoverability: the redesign introduces location and contextual recommendation cues. How offers would be selected or personalised is still an open design question; the screenshot does not demonstrate a recommendation system.
- 04
Navigation and saving: the new bottom bar groups Wallet with compass and search icons, and the offer card includes an icon action. The intended discovery and saving flows, icon meanings and active navigation state still need refinement; the preview is not evidence of a completed journey.
- 05
Original deliverable: reusable interface patterns and a Figma prototype communicated the proposed coupon-wallet interactions.
Product context and reasoning
- Original scope: collect and organise coupons, with sharing as a supporting concept.
- New direction: explore discovery of nearby offers, contextual recommendations and saving offers. These are design intentions, not validated or implemented capabilities.
04 / PRODUCT
Selected interface
The first image is the current redesign preview, a work-in-progress concept. The remaining six images are from the original university project and are preserved as historical design evidence. They show the earlier wallet, coupon details, add-coupon and sharing direction.
05 / OUTCOME
Outcome and reflection
The original university sprint produced a coupon-wallet prototype. The redesign is ongoing, with one preview exploring nearby offer discovery and a different visual hierarchy. No completed redesign, working offer service, recommendation engine, barcode scanning or coupon redemption is claimed.
The redesign has not been presented here as usability-tested or validated. The available evidence is one static preview; no testing results, measured improvements or implemented functionality are documented.
Revisiting this early project gives me a chance to question the structure as well as the visual treatment. The next step is to work through discovery, offer details and saving as a coherent flow, then evaluate whether the navigation and offer presentation are understandable.
