Dwindle
Simplifying Your Student Loans
OBJECTIVE
Identify a real-world issue to be used as the basis of a master’s thesis project. Conduct research in order to clearly define the problem and gain insight on possible solutions. Develop a deliverable strategy which will attend to very specific causes of the problem. Test possible solutions with users and implement changes based on their needs. Deliverables will exist across multiple platforms and must demonstrate sound design thinking.
APPROACH
Dwindle is a brand which aims to mitigate student debt over time. Many college students as well as graduates struggle with student loan payments due to a lack of knowledge and a lack of awareness of their budget. Dwindle offers an educational web platform to provide all the essential information about student loans. In addition, a smartphone application helps to manage a user’s budget specifically around their loans, and offers a way for them to divert various forms of income towards loan payments.
