Timeline
From early explorations to final designs all wrapped up in 1 week while juggling other creative projects on the side.
Background
This meditation app concept was born from a desire to create a safe, soft, and welcoming space for mindfulness. I wanted to explore a product that felt calming at first glance visually airy, emotionally gentle, and easy to navigate.
Research & Planning
I explored popular wellness and mindfulness apps to understand what made users feel calm and connected. I also gathered aesthetic references that balanced clarity with emotional softness.
Design & Prototyping
I focused on warm gradients, rounded UI elements, and soft typography. Each screen was wireframed, then gradually layered with visual polish prioritizing ease of use and visual tranquility.
Implementation
This was a design-only project, so I created a clickable prototype in Figma to simulate core flows like onboarding and meditation session selection
Testing & Optimization
I conducted informal peer reviews and iterated on feedback around accessibility and layout clarity, ensuring each screen felt balanced and intuitive.
Personalized Sound Control
The sound screen gives users intuitive volume sliders for nature sounds and voice guidance — designed for seamless customization of each session’s ambiance without leaving the meditation flow.
Mindful Timing with Gentle Alarms
The alarm timer feature uses soft tones, minimal UI, and subtle animation to let users schedule sessions with peace of mind. It’s built to reduce cognitive load while reinforcing mindfulness habits.
Home Page: Calm, Clear, and Centered
The profile screen offers personalized access showing recently played sessions and premium features to unlock. It encourages continued use while balancing motivation with visual calm.
Positive Reception from Peers
Test users loved the calming visuals and gentle flows. Many said the app made it easier to commit to daily mindfulness habits, even with just 5 minutes a day.
Refined UX Understanding
Designing the meditation app deepened my sensitivity to calm user experiences. I explored flow, feedback, and how minimal interactions can still feel rich and human.
Showcase-Worthy Visuals
Soft gradients, glassmorphism, and a pastel palette came together to create a visually soothing space that I’m proud to include in my portfolio.
