OVERVIEW
Flourish is an 8-week, long project, it is a cross-platform mindfulness and goal-setting system built to strengthen users’ long-term connection to their personal “why.” Designed for mobile, desktop, and watch, it streamlines intention-setting, progress tracking, and reflection to support a more consistent and motivating wellness routine.

PROBLEM
People are overwhelmed by wellness information but lack intuitive tools to apply it in daily life. As interest in self-tracking grows, there is a need for more structured and adaptable systems that support mindfulness, gratitude, and self-reflection across different learning styles.
RESEARCH
Our team conducted a competitive analysis to identify gaps in existing mindfulness apps, followed by a collaborative workshop exploring how people define and experience mindfulness. Where we also found our target audiance, college students. I contributed to developing three user personas, shared vision statements, and experience pillars through guided discussions, emotional exercises, and personality exploration. These insights informed our design direction and helped establish a cohesive product experience. From there, I collaborated with my team to map critical user journeys, brainstorm solutions, and iteratively refine our designs, translating research findings into intuitive, user-centered interactions across multiple devices.
SOLUTIONS
Through a competitor matrix, we identified gaps in existing wellness apps, particularly their focus on rigid habit tracking over more reflective, intention-based experiences. This informed Flourish as an “internal compass” centered on purpose and personal meaning, shifting toward intention, joy, and reflection to support guilt-free growth and help users reconnect with their “why.”
Designed across mobile, desktop widgets, and Apple Watch, Flourish creates a seamless experience that makes mindfulness accessible throughout everyday routines.
A dedicated space for guided meditation, breathing exercises, and personal reflection, encouraging users to slow down, process emotions, and reconnect with themselves.
Helps users establish personal intentions, set achievable goals, and stay motivated through mindful reminders and daily progress.
We structured Flourish around four interconnected spaces, Home, Mind Space, Focus Space, and Joy Hub, creating an intuitive experience that balances mindfulness, personal growth, and reflection.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
On our hardest days, we often forget the moments that made life beautiful. Sometimes, we just need a little reminder.
Finding Balance Through Intentional Design
I learned that personal growth isn't always linear. Designing Flourish reinforced the importance of creating flexible, supportive experiences that encourage progress without adding pressure or turning mindfulness into another obligation.
Growing Beyond the Screen
Our next steps include introducing a physical journal, expanding reflection activities, and offering more personalized experiences. We also envision refining our cross-platform prototype to create a more seamless connection between digital and physical mindfulness practices.
