How My Love for Finance, Art, and Teaching Became Fun Finance
My goal has always been to make economics and finance accessible and easy to understand for everyone, so that more people can feel confident about their money decisions and building their financial futures.
I learned early on how money can change the way you see the world. My dad taught me about money and finance throughout my childhood. His lessons stuck with me.
In 2024, the Fun Finance Project started when I wrote a book called Fun Finance, a guide explaining money and economics to kids in a simple and fun way.
Drawing and creating things have also been beloved pastimes since I was very young, helping me turn financial ideas into something more tangible and approachable later on. I wanted other kids to have the head start I had, and I wanted them to be comfortable and confident about money.
The Fun Finance Project has grown a lot since I wrote the book. I’ve taught students, teachers, and staff alike at my school. I also created four free iOS apps inspired by the book. Each of the apps explores a different skill related to money in a simple and easy-to-understand way, including comparing prices, distinguishing wants from needs, thinking before spending, and understanding opportunity cost.
I hope that Fun Finance can combine finance, art, and education to help more people become comfortable with finance.
