TaxBuddy, Making Taxes Feel Less Taxing
"I wanted every screen to feel like a quiet reassurance in a world full of tax jargon and confusion. The design leaned on clear and simple UX copy, and thoughtful hierarchy to guide users without overwhelming them. This project taught me how much visual design can influence how users feel and not just how they interact. Turning complex data into something simple, familiar, and trustworthy became the heart of our approach."
""I found myself lost in a world of tax jargon and complex regulations." Filing taxes in India can be overwhelming. The system is filled with jargon, multiple form types, and unclear instructions. For many first-time filers and freelancers, it feels like stepping into unfamiliar territory. Our goal was to simplify this experience. To design an interface that guides users confidently through the process while reducing cognitive load and visual noise."
TaxBuddy focuses on making tax filing less intimidating by building trust through intuitive UX and thoughtful visual design. A small design team prioritized clear, approachable interfaces and concise UX copy to reduce cognitive load and visual noise. Research through interviews and observations showed that users seek guidance rather than pure automation, and that visual simplicity supports trust. The approach transformed complex tax data into simple, familiar, and trustworthy experiences, using calm visual language and hierarchy to guide first-time filers and freelancers through forms and jargon with greater confidence and ease.
