Problem

In the current digital advertising landscape, consumers' personal data is often collected, used, and monetized without their explicit consent, compromising privacy and leaving users with little control or financial benefit from their own data. The data that businesses use to increase profits and stay competitive hasn't given the same financial benefits to the users who are co owner of that data.

Solution

Drumwave dWallet is a mobile app that gives users true ownership of their personal data. It enables them to see it, manage it, control it, and monetize it through ethical and anonymous data sharing.

Drumwave & User

Challenges

Payjoy & User Challenges

▸ Users have no visibility into how their personal data is collected, used, or shared by the businesses they interact with daily

▸ Existing data privacy tools are complex and technical, most users don't know where to start or what they're agreeing to

▸ The concept of data monetization is new and unfamiliar, users are skeptical and need education before they trust any platform with their data

▸ Businesses lack a compliant, ethical way to access consented user data leading to opaque data brokers and third party sharing without user knowledge

My Reflections

This was one of the most complex and rewarding challenges of my career. Designing an abstract concept like data ownership to feel simple and trustworthy for everyday users across two very different markets pushed me to think differently.

I learned to balance user trust with business viability, collaborate across cultures, and design with confidence in a space where the product category itself was entirely new
