MindSet Mental Wellness App

MindSet was designed around a clear problem: most mental health apps are either too clinical, too expensive, or too adult-coded to actually reach teenagers. The ones that do reach teens often feel patronizing or gamified in ways that undermine the content.

The design philosophy was to treat users like adults while keeping the UX lightweight and non-intimidating. The app includes mood tracking, CBT-based journaling prompts, breathing exercises, and a resource library — but the architecture is modular, so users can use just the pieces that feel useful to them.

The entire product was built in Figma — full high-fidelity prototype with interactive flows, component library, and design system. Every screen was designed with accessibility in mind: contrast ratios, tap targets, readable type at small sizes.

This project pushed my product thinking more than any other. When your user is a stressed 16-year-old at 2am, every friction point in the UX matters. I went through five major redesigns before landing on something I felt actually served the user rather than just looking good in a portfolio.
