Paws & Perks: Financial Advising

For this project I forced two seemingly disparate products/services/or styles together to create a new user experience/service/business. The objective is to use connections to come up with authentic design solutions.

I started by making two lists. One list might be activities people need to do -- have their pet groomed, get their oil changed, go to the laundromat, etc. The second list were activities people enjoy doing -- reading, drinking coffee, going to the gym, etc.

The connection I came up with was pairing financial advising with the concept of a pet cafe. As a young adult, managing money is not easy or fun, but what is fun is going out to cafes and petting animals, so I thought why not do both? So I did and I branded it Paws & Perks.
