The story
Designing calm
Wellness apps have a habit of collapsing into the same soft-pastel sameness. This project tried to keep the calm without losing personality: gradients that shift like actual light, illustration that feels hand-made rather than templated.
Motion as the main character
Because the product is about breathing and pacing, motion timing became the real design tool: every transition is tuned to a slow four-count rhythm, so the interface itself models the behaviour it’s trying to teach.
Outcome
A small, focused UI kit and illustration set built to make “getting started with meditation” feel like the easiest five minutes of someone’s day.
