Reflection

I thoroughly enjoyed crafting the interface for Innerpeace, which became a standout aspect of the project. Engaging with users, delving into their thought processes, and gaining insights into their perspectives deeply influenced my approach to developing a user-centric product.

Given more time, I would conduct another round of usability testing to validate that my enhancements optimize the task flow. Furthermore, I aspire to incorporate an additional feature—a red route providing users with easy access to mental health resources.
