garlic is an subscription manager built to reclaim your financial control. Using behavioral science, Garlic automatically pauses underused subscriptions, halts renewals during silent price hikes, and enables transparent, one-tap cancellations. Say goodbye to forgotten recurring charges and manipulative dark patterns—Garlic makes managing your digital footprint effortless, honest, and intuitive.

Challenge
The challenge was to dismantle the exploitative, friction-driven architecture of the modern subscription economy into a proactive financial protector. I had to synthesize consumer spending analytics, behavioral psychology guardrails, and an uncompromising ethical UX aesthetic to empower everyday users while maintaining rigorous financial clarity.
Solution
My process involved establishing a single-screen architecture that balanced proactive financial protection with radical transparency. I curated a user journey that prioritized behavioral intent, moving from seamless expense syncing to automated usage tracking. By standardizing an ethical design system and integrating frictionless cancellation flows, I created a preventative financial companion that mirrors the absolute clarity and control users deserve.
