The Challenge: Transforming a scientifically-backed clinical tool into an inviting, intuitive, and stress-free mobile experience.
My Role: I was responsible for the end-to-end UI/UX design of the app's interface and the mechanics of the therapeutic mini-games. My goal was to create a seamless "wrapper" that supports the core gameplay while maintaining a calm, professional, and accessible atmosphere. (Illustrations and animations were provided by the team; my focus was the UI and systemic design).
Gamified Healing
The UI for each mini-game was designed to minimize cognitive load while maximizing engagement. By using soft colors, clear progress indicators, and intuitive controls, we ensure that the therapeutic process feels like play, not a chore.
A Soothing Visual Identity
The color palette was carefully chosen to evoke tranquility and hope. The typography and component library were built to be highly legible and accessible, ensuring a smooth experience for users in any emotional state.
