what.

Haven is a platform designed to help you destress and create an optimal sleep environment from home, offering features like dream interpretation, hypnotherapy, and day havens. It also connects you with designers to transform your bedroom into a sleep-friendly space, ensuring better rest and a more successful you.

problem space.
Modern technology and social expectations often leave us too stressed to sleep, compromising creativity, focus, and even our immune system. Sleep deprivation affects our social abilities and efficiency, yet we often fail to prioritize it. With added stress, blue light, and intrusive thoughts, the challenges to good sleep continue to grow. How can we design a simple, effective solution to help people prioritize and improve their sleep?
solution.
Haven is a platform that addresses the physical and mental aspects of creating an ideal sleep space. Through an onboarding sleep quiz, it identifies your problem areas and preferences to design a personalized "sleep retreat." The app offers meditations, yoga, breathing techniques, talks, sleep hypnosis therapy, aromatherapy guidance, dream journals, and tools for designing a sleep-friendly space. It even considers your location to plan a day of activities tailored to improve your sleep.
process.

This project progressed through stages of research, ideation, co-creation, user testing, and design refinements, starting with a brain dump and sketching ideas to develop 2D, 3D, and 4D prototypes. Struggling to find a topic, I landed on sleep after hours of research and brainstorming around immunity. Initially, I proposed a localized sleep retreat, but feedback about people struggling to sleep outside their own beds shifted the project’s direction significantly.

I reimagined the retreat as an online platform, incorporating local amenities to create a personalized sleep retreat at home. This made the concept more accessible, affordable, and directly applicable while allowing users to sleep in their own beds. The focus shifted to improving sleep at home, with features like an automatic red-light filter to reduce the disruptive effects of technology and tips for create the ideal sleep environment. This shift was pivotal in refining the project into a personalized and effective solution for better sleep.

I felt stuck with the design until someone suggested stripping it down to white with minimal color, which gave me a fresh start. Revisiting wellness apps, changing the font, and rounding elements created a clean, simple, and calming design and was left with a clean, simple and more appropriate design.

Offloading heavy information to a website and focusing on in-app activities also improved the app significantly. The redesign left me proud of the result, even knowing there’s always room for improvement. Every step, from the bad ideas to the better ones, was essential for the project and my growth.

Ended up with a mockup of the Haven app with a few different flows with quiz in order to determine what path is the best for you, suggested activities, dream journal and creating your sleep recovery program. As well as breathing techniques and room plan creation for a better sleep.
