About Bixie
Empowering Women's Financial Independence
Founded by Rosalia Gitau, Bixie is more than just a financial app—it’s a movement aimed at helping women grow their net worth and confidence in financial decision-making. By focusing on challenges unique to women, such as a lack of confidence linked to limited financial knowledge and a preference for savings over investments, Bixie provides tailored solutions that resonate with women’s financial behaviors and needs.
Project Challenges
Rozalia Gitao, founder of Bixie, reached out to Creole Studios for help amid resource constraints. She sought expertise to build a mobile app for Bixie’s mission. Together, they aimed to empower women with financial literacy.
TECHNICAL RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS: As a startup, Bixie faced significant challenges in securing skilled technical resources who could understand and implement the specific functionalities required for a women-focused financial app.
ENSURING ENGAGING USER EXPERIENCE: It was crucial to develop a backend that not only performs efficiently but also supports seamless and intuitive user interactions to keep users engaged with managing their finances through the app.
EMPATHETIC DESIGN NEEDS: The app needed a design that resonates with women’s unique perspectives on finances, addressing emotional reactions like anxiety and preferences for collaborative decision-making environments.
SCALABILITY AND PERFORMANCE: Building a platform that could scale efficiently while maintaining performance as the user base grows was essential, especially considering the financial and data-intensive nature of the app.
How did we help?
Creole Studios provided comprehensive support tailored to Bixie’s specific needs, ensuring the successful development and launch of their app.
Strategic Resource Provisioning
Understanding the startup’s constraints and requirements, we initially provided a seasoned NodeJS developer to build a robust backend for the Bixie app. Our flexible engagement model included a 3-day free trial, allowing Bixie to assess the fit and performance of our developer without any upfront commitment.
Expanding Technical Team
After the successful trial and based on the high-quality output, Bixie extended their team through Creole Studios by adding a Flutter developer and a UI designer. This expansion was crucial for scaling the app development to include front-end functionalities and an aesthetic that appeals to the target user base.
Close Collaboration and Agile Development
Our developers worked closely with Bixie’s core team, adopting an agile development approach. This ensured that all features were tailored to user needs and could be iteratively improved based on real user feedback.
User-Centric Design and Development
The UI designer focused on creating an interface that was not only visually appealing but also intuitive, reflecting the emotional and practical needs of women users. This involved understanding the psychological aspects of how women interact with financial tools and embedding elements that foster trust and comfort.
