Goal
For this project in the MDIA 2092 Project Management course, my goal was to research and map out the structure of the meditation app. I created a detailed user flow and medium-fidelity wireframes using Figma and documented my findings and insights in Google Docs to keep everything organized. 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.
