The Concept

Similarly to how water is the lifeblood of our planet's ecosystem, our wellbeing is the lifeblood of our body's ecosystem.

The user’s personal growth is mirrored in the calendar's flourishing landscapes, which get progressively brighter and more lush as they complete their journey to wellbeing.

Supporting the User

I identified my target user group as young people, like Jess, with anxious persuasions and a preference for introversion. Flourish's structured goals, reassurance and rewards help users integrate beneficial activities into their routines.
