Life Plan Calendar

Problem: In today’s Personal Calendar solutions, there is no way to view visually your plans across months (Summer Plans), or years (Christmas Planning) without additional UX steps. Ironically enough, content calendars for Businesses that are expensive allow this broader view as social media planning takes place across the year.  We would like to develop in conjunction with internal designers a Calendar View that will support all these use cases in a natural human format, similar to what Figma has done for design we will do for life planning calendar view. Extensions of this project include integrating APIs of natural language parsers and OpenAI’s API for automatically filling in details of vacation plans including the budget cost which is a critical component of the overall application this solution will be developed on.

Centro's Collaborative Finance | Springboard | UI/UX Design Project
