Journey Mapping
Discovery → Signup → Engagement → Referral → Exit. Mapping emotional highs and lows across each touchpoint.
Task & User Flows
Optimizing for minimal friction. Ensuring critical therapy access is never more than two taps away.
Information Architecture
A flat hierarchy structured around four pillars: Home, Therapy, Explore, and My Diary.
Information Hierarchy
We moved from a traditional dashboard to a contextual feed system. The interface adapts based on the user's mood check-in, surfacing relevant meditation sessions or therapy options instantly.
Sensory Calm.
Designing for mental health requires more than aesthetics—it requires cognitive ease. We used soft gradients, organic shapes, and generous white space to create a digital sanctuary.

Home & Mood Log
Intuitive interface featuring mood tracking and daily check-ins.
Therapy & Expert Access
