We kicked off the project with collaborative brainstorming sessions using Canva Whiteboard, where we mapped out ideas and aligned on our vision for Thrive.
Together, we explored what makes an app feel calming rather than overwhelming, how to simplify the meditation experience for beginners, and which features would help users stay consistent without adding pressure.
To support our ideas, we ran user surveys, analyzed popular meditation apps like Headspace and Calm, and developed user personas based on the feedback we received. All of this helped shape a direction rooted in simplicity, personalization, and a sense of calm.
The main purpose was to design a smooth and intuitive navigation system that would form a strong foundation for a relaxing and enjoyable user experience as the project moves forward.
Many meditation apps overwhelm users with cluttered interfaces and complex navigation, making relaxation more difficult. Thrive aimed to change that by providing a simple, calming, and intuitive experience.
I conducted UX research to identify user frustrations and needs. Through surveys and competitor analysis, I uncovered key pain points: users desired ease of use, personalization, and minimal distractions.
I meticulously mapped out intuitive and smooth navigation using Figma to ensure users could easily access features without confusion.
By analyzing user needs and behaviors, I structured the app's flow to create a seamless experience, reducing friction and enhancing engagement.
I designed the app layout and interactions in Figma, focusing on creating a well-structured and functional interface.
These wireframes served as the foundation for the final design, allowing me to refine the app’s structure, test usability, and ensure all elements were placed thoughtfully for an effortless user experience.
The homepage features personalized meditation recommendations based on user habits, preferences, and progress. It offers sessions tailored to specific goals like stress relief, focus, or better sleep.
A visual dashboard is included to track streaks, total minutes meditated, and milestone achievements, keeping users motivated and engaged. The overall design focuses on creating a calming, user-friendly experience.
The meditation library includes a simple, organized layout that makes it easy to find sessions. Sessions are categorized by mood, theme, and duration, helping users quickly discover what fits their needs.
It also features a search and filtering system to make finding the right meditation even easier, all designed with a clean, intuitive layout for a seamless experience.
The user profile allows for personalized meditation goals and session length preferences. Users can choose background sounds to enhance relaxation, adjust notification settings, and track their progress.
It also provides easy access to saved or favorited sessions, all designed to encourage consistency and long-term engagement.
We followed the Waterfall methodology, moving through each phase of the project step by step from research to planning, then design, and finally delivery. Since each stage had to be fully completed before the next one began, it helped us stay focused and organized as a team.
I was mainly involved in the research and design phases, where I spent time running surveys, analyzing competitor apps, mapping user flows in Figma, and building medium-fidelity wireframes. I also collaborated closely with the team through meetings and Canva Whiteboard sessions, logging a total of 36 hours throughout the project.
Our Final Prototype delivered what we set out to build: a quiet, focused meditation app that supports user wellness without overwhelming them.
