1. MyND
Brief
The mental health platform/app helps users better cope with mild anxiety, stress, and loneliness, while encouraging them to open up and express their feelings. The core feature of the platform is providing accessible and affordable online therapy via chat, video, or call, with psychologists, psychotherapists, or arts therapists. Secondary features include activities such as breathing exercises and meditation to support self-help between therapy sessions. Additionally, the platform offers resources in the form of articles, podcasts, and videos

2. Yoga4all app
This project was my first experience with UX/UI design, where I learned the importance of research and prototype development. This project inspired me to deepen my knowledge and continue my studies in this field.
Brief
Develop an app aimed at improving health and wellbeing, utilising user experience design methodologies and user testing..
Role
Brand concept, flow diagram, wireframes, and prototype design.
The Brand
Offer a yoga practice tailored to practitioners' goals and abilities by providing customised asanas and sequences, including prop variations to suit individual needs.
Persona
Andrew, in his mid-40s, has started experiencing back pain and reduced agility. He feels self-conscious about attending yoga classes, believing they are primarily for women and worrying about his lack of flexibility. Andrew seeks a safe, supportive environment to explore yoga at his own pace and ability.
LoFi Test Feedback
The LoFi prototype was tested with five participants, providing essential feedback that helped refine the app's flow and dashboard design.
WCAG
The colour contrast and font size were designed to meet WCAG Level AA standards.
Results
The final app makes yoga accessible to everyone, regardless of age, gender, or physical condition.
