I'm a lead product designer at a UK fintech company, and research is a huge part of my job. Yep, sometimes it's just draining. Endless screenshots, fragmented data sources, lost ideas... Sound familiar?
I'm a product marketer who launched two successful fintech products from scratch. I know what research burnout feels like. It was especially tough when we were starting out – limited access to banking apps, market data, and deadlines were always tight.
It eats up valuable time and resources that could be better spent on product development and improvement.
Searching for banking apps’ screens on Mobbin, Pinterest, Awwwards, Dribbble doesn't show you the real user journey.
Opening countless bank accounts fills up your phone storage and lowers your credit score.
No clue how fintech and banking products work abroad. You had to ask friends in other countries to share screenshots.
Your gallery is full of screenshots, and ideas get lost in the shuffle.
Analysing data until you're exhausted, losing motivation and creativity.
