Headspace redesign

Easing first-time meditation woes

Role

This was a redesign!

Tools

Figma, Principle

Duration

2 weeks

CONTEXT

During the pandemic, I tried meditation. Surprise: I sucked.

I wasn't able to clear my mind and felt frustrated about it. Meditation was supposed to be relaxing, here I was getting stressed that I couldn't do it right!

I did a fun exploration of a post-meditation experience that could make more space for these feelings (and probably improve retention) by acknowledging some common concerns and guiding the user though them.

FULL INTERACTION

A post-meditation experience that meets you where you're at.

LEARNINGS

Orchestration, down to the millisecond
  • I got to dive deep into keyframe animation via Principle and hone my prototyping skills.

  • Motion design exercises a different part of your brain than just designing static screens, and I enjoyed orchestrating the experience down to the millisecond.
