Process

Research & Discovery

Conducted 8 user interviews to understand pain points with existing wellness apps. Found that 70% of users felt guilty when missing streaks, leading to app abandonment.

Ideation & Wireframing

Created low-fidelity wireframes exploring different approaches to habit tracking without punitive mechanics. Tested 3 concepts with users.

Visual Design

Developed a calming visual language using soft colors, rounded shapes, and encouraging micro-copy. Every interaction was designed to feel supportive.

Prototyping & Testing

Built interactive prototype in Figma and conducted usability testing with 5 participants. Iterated based on feedback about onboarding flow.

Outcome

The final design received positive feedback from users and instructors. Users reported feeling less anxious about tracking habits and more motivated to return to the app after breaks.
