Our Journey

When Enlightened Labs first approached us, he came with clear aspirations: creating an engaging, supportive app for personal recovery and relapse prevention. His positive feedback, "I am incredibly impressed with your designs," set the foundation for a dynamic collaboration, allowing us to hone in on meaningful user experiences.

The Evolution of the Homepage
Initially, our homepage design featured the daily inventory and relapse tracker prominently. However, Enlightened Labs insightfully suggested relocating the relapse bar beneath the inventory box to streamline the user's focus. Implementing the "Total Days" tracker and experimenting with streak bar shading significantly enhanced usability.

Refining the Navigation
Navigation presented another key challenge. While our bottom navigation was functional, Enlightened Labs suggested a cleaner aesthetic inspired by references he provided. Adjusting to simpler icons dramatically improved clarity, providing users effortless interaction.

Colour Psychology in Circles
The "Circles" page visualized user engagement through a simple yet impactful color scheme: red for immediate caution, orange for moderate risk, and green for safety. Enlightened Labs's affirmation, "I absolutely love your design—it is so good!" reinforced our direction while his feedback ensured practical functionality.

Enhancing the User Journey: Meditation & Inventory
The Meditation page needed to inspire serenity and emotional healing. Through subtle enhancements in imagery and layout adjustments, we transformed the space to be inviting and calming. Similarly, the Personal Inventory required additional excitement. Adding a calendar view and motivational prompts improved engagement and user accountability.

Community Building
Creating a compelling Community page was essential. Inspired by Enlightened Labs's vision, we designed an inviting, trust-based space. Adjustments like clearer icons and integrating user requests made this page not just functional but supportive, facilitating deeper connections.

Iteration and Attention to Detail
Our iterative approach was central to the project's success. Regular exchanges with Enlightened Labs guided improvements such as subtle shadows and gradients to elevate visual depth, ensuring each element felt purposeful and complete. Small adjustments—like consistent capitalization and spacing nuances—demonstrated our dedication to precision.



Technical Considerations and Figma Prototyping
We used Figma extensively, creating interactive prototypes to ensure the final design translated seamlessly into development. Enlightened Labs's suggestion to replace the profile icon with a companions' icon streamlined the navigation further, enhancing user intuitiveness.

Finalizing the Design
The journey culminated with nuanced refinements, such as aligning the app’s color palette and typography with Enlightened Labs's brand identity. Subtle tweaks brought sophistication and clarity, reinforcing brand consistency.

Client Satisfaction & Future Collaboration

Enlightened Labs's feedback encapsulated our shared achievement perfectly: "This is perfect, thanks so much." Our dialogue was collaborative and productive, laying a robust foundation for future projects. His recognition — "You are extremely talented" — highlighted our successful partnership, setting the stage for exciting future endeavors
