elqi is a mental wellness app that uses breathing as a way to fight app addiction. Its design elements support both its cause and development.
The app design is based on a strategy developed for a resource-strapped MVP. It relies on dominant, large numbers and titles rather than icons or visuals so that the app could be easily developed and tested.
Many standard UI components were used to make the development easier for the single swift developer on board.
The bloom design element reflects breathing rhythms and differs from method to method.
The process involved creating and animating symmetrical, blooming-like patterns in Figma. Designing in Figma components and using replication allowed to quickly and precisely modify elements.
The visuals for the onboarding screen were designed with consistency in mind. The circle leitmotif comes back and provides a scalable medium for expansion and marketing asset creation.
