The Problem
A lot of young adults struggle with anxiety, low self-worth, and communication issues. Most apps in this space focus on surface-level habits. I wanted to go deeper. The goal was to help people build empathy, regulate emotions, and develop confidence in a real and lasting way.
The Solution
Participants in user testing shared that the app helped them feel more focused, more confident, and less alone.
Feedback confirmed that the mix of guidance and flexibility hit the right tone.
Role & Impact
=I was the lead UX/UI designer and researcher. I conducted interviews, built out personas, designed wireframes and flows, and created both mobile and desktop prototypes. I also developed a unique interaction style to help users feel guided without being overwhelmed.
Collaboration & stakeholders
This was a solo build. Insights came directly from user interviews and peer reviews. I plan to expand this with a dev team to bring it into public beta.
