Many users struggle to maintain consistent wellness routines without guidance or feedback. To address this, I designed a library of bite-sized exercises such as breathing, meditation, and grounding practices that adapt based on user mood, progress, and engagement patterns. These activities reduce friction while reinforcing long-term behavior change.

Through this project, I learned the importance of balancing guidance with flexibility when designing for sensitive experiences. Users needed support without feeling overwhelmed, which influenced decisions around progressive disclosure, personalization, and interaction simplicity.
Designing the smart matching system reinforced how critical empathy and context are when connecting users with the right resources. I also gained experience structuring complex workflows into clear, intuitive journeys that support both immediate needs and long-term engagement.
This project strengthened my ability to translate research insights into product strategy while considering emotional, behavioral, and usability factors simultaneously.
