Artist Statement

This app is your daily self-care companion designed to support students´emotional well-being and help them build healthy, positive habits. I designed this app after noticing how many students face stress, anxiety, and depression, and I wanted to design a tool that would help them manage negative feelings and achieve their personal goals by providing something simple they can rely on anytime. As a designer, I am specifically interested in healthcare and mental health, and this project allowed me to explore how UX design can support emotional well-being in a meaningful and accessible way. The app provides a safe, private space where students can reflect, track their moods and achievements, and stay consistent with their goals. It also guides students toward mental health resources available at their school. It is designed specifically with students in mind, focusing on consistency and providing a supportive tool they can use anytime and anywhere for personal growth.
