“One-Hand Wonder” – Designing for Thumb Zones
Design a mobile home screen for a personal finance app that’s fully usable with just one thumb. Think about reach, ergonomics, and prioritization.
User Persona
Jordan, 34, rides the subway every morning and checks her budget with one hand while holding coffee in the other.
Constraints
Everything must be reachable with the right thumb (right-handed default)
Max 4 nav items
Avoid top-of-screen actions
Suggested Tools
Figma (use device frames!), Maze (for thumb testing), Zeplin (for handoff)
Brand Vibes
YNAB, Cleo, Emma
Tip
📱 Design where the thumb lives, not where your brain wants it to go. Use heat maps or thumb zone charts if needed!
