✦ Background

Our goal was to provide a strong visual language and help Nomado to stand out and get the appealing look & feel which resonates with a target audience and gives a feeling of joy and safety during product usage. Also, we needed to introduce the product to potential users.

✦ The Challenge

Zengo is a revolutionary meditation app that addresses the aforementioned challenges by utilizing artificial intelligence to customize mindfulness practices and track users' progress. By leveraging AI algorithms, Zengo offers personalized meditation sessions tailored to users' unique goals, preferences, and skill levels. The app's advanced tracking features provide valuable insights into users' meditation journey, enabling them to monitor their progress and make informed adjustments to optimize their mindfulness practice.

Zengo's journey began with the vision of empowering individuals to harness the transformative power of mindfulness in their daily lives. The founders recognized the growing need for personalized and accessible meditation experiences to help individuals combat stress and enhance their overall well-being. They assembled a team of meditation experts, AI engineers, and user experience designers to bring their vision to life.

The team embarked on extensive research and development to create an app that seamlessly integrates artificial intelligence with mindfulness practices. They understood that customization was crucial for users to connect deeply with their meditation practice, and thus, they developed a sophisticated AI system capable of adapting to users' evolving needs. Zengo's algorithm analyzes users' preferences, goals, and previous meditation experiences to generate personalized sessions, ensuring that each practice caters to individual requirements.

Since its launch, Zengo has made a profound impact on users seeking a more personalized and effective meditation experience. Individuals have embraced the app's AI-powered features, finding solace in the customized meditation sessions that align with their specific needs and objectives. Zengo's progress tracking tools have empowered users to monitor their journey, celebrate milestones, and make data-driven adjustments to enhance their practice. The app's user-friendly interface, combined with its AI capabilities, has transformed the way users approach mindfulness, making it more accessible and impactful in their daily lives.

Interaction Design - User Flows
✦ Sketches & Wireframes
✦ Responsive Design
✦ Brand Core Values

In order for wireframes to evolve into high fidelity, proper planning needed to be taken into account. I first set out to establish the proper core values that would capture the tone of the brand's identity. I settled on the following: Accessible, Bold, Curious, Expressive, Friendly, Modern, and Vibrant. This lended itself heavily for pursuing a direction in visual style.
