Noh

Designing Brazil’s first shared financial experience for couples

Noh is the only Brazilian fintech shared account designed for two people to manage money together equally. As founding designer, I led the product’s creation from zero to scale, designing everything from core flows to security layers and brand expression.

In Brazil, managing money as a couple is mostly informal and manual, involving spreadsheets, bank transfers, and lots of friction. Noh set out to change that by building the first shared account experience for two, while ensuring clarity, trust, and full regulatory compliance (KYC, Open Finance, Pix).

If Noh disappeared, I honestly don’t know what we’d do - we’d probably just break up instead! You all are amazing!

Highlights
Designing a product for couples required a mindset shift from individual banking to social finance, where emotional dynamics play a central role.

Clear, transparent experience reduced friction and built trust in an entirely new category of financial product.

Embedding design into product strategy helped accelerate learning cycles, enabling the startup to move faster toward product-market fit.
