Haven is a conceptual mental wellness app designed to help users find calm through mindful moments.
This quick design exploration focuses on the intro screen and home interface, emphasizing simplicity, warmth, and subtle motion.
The goal was to explore how micro-interactions and breathing animations can transform a static interface into a serene, emotionally supportive experience — something users feel, not just use.
How do you design an interface that feels alive and soothing rather than sterile?
Many wellness apps overuse gradients or icons, losing the sense of calm they aim to create.
With Haven, the goal was to build a minimal, spacious design where small animated details gently guide the user’s focus and breathing rhythm — a digital space that breathes with them.
I studied meditation and breathing interfaces (like Headspace and Balance) to identify what makes them emotionally resonant: softness, repetition, and pacing.
I built two simple screens: 1. Intro screen welcoming users with the “breathing bubble.” 2. Home screen featuring calming cards and daily reflection actions.
Though subtle, the animations are key: a pulsating blue bubble on the intro screen simulates breathing.
Soft gradients, rounded elements, and clean typography create a design that feels intentional, not ornamental.

This mini-project demonstrates how emotionally aware interaction design can elevate even the simplest UI.
Mostly branding, UX/UI design, and visual identity work — from early-stage startups to established brands ready to refine or relaunch.
Yes. I collaborate with clients across Europe and beyond — remote work keeps the process flexible and smooth.
Absolutely. Many clients return for ongoing design updates or new creative projects once we’ve built a good rhythm together.
Every project is unique. My pricing is based on project scope, complexity, and expected outcomes — always transparent before we start.
