Problem Statement ❗
Travelers find it difficult to change currency when they visit a new country. They find it quit frustrating to find an exchange center that gives them more value for their money.
Goal 🎯
A digital platform for travelers to check currency rates and find nearest exchange centers which provides the best exchange rate.
User Research 👥
While conducting an online survey I found out that when ever a user is travelling to a new country its quite difficult to get the currency exchanged with good rate. Most of the time they search online and find an exchange their money and later found out that there were other exchanges who provided higher rates.

Wireframes & Lofi Designs ✏️
There are four main screens to be designed: the 'My Currency' screen, which also serves as the home screen; the 'Converter' screen, which includes both a list view and a map view of nearby exchanges; and a navigation screen that shows directions to the exchange center. After several iterations, I come up with the following sketches, which were later converted into the following low-fidelity designs.
