This application caters to individuals who are interested in lucid dreams and assists them in logging their dreams.

Competitive Analysis

Competitive Analysis was did to look into other apps that has similar function that journaling and tracking dreams. I look into the opportunities of the app that might be lacking. 

Persona

Persona helps me to look into the possible needs of target users and what fustrations and goals they have. So the app could designed to tackle those. 



User Scenarios

As it is weekday, she need to go to school. She voice record her dream. The app asked her how was her sleep, How Clear was your dream? What was the overall mood? Was the dream lucid? By answering that,tags was added to the dream journal. She also want to share it on her Dream community who are her added friends. She chose to share to only friends and post it.

About

Being located in Los Angeles and having been raised in Hong Kong, I have had the opportunity to experience and appreciate diverse cultures which provided me with unique perspectives and an understanding of different aesthetics, customs, and values. Over years of exploring and learning, I became a multi-disciplinary designer with a strong passion for UXUI, Packaging, Branding, and Motion.

With a focus on creating designs that tell powerful stories, I approach each project with careful attention and empathy toward the audience. Through my methodology of utilizing simplistic visuals and illustrations, I aim to evoke emotional responses and effectively convey the intended message of the design. This approach has enabled me to continually adapt, thrive, and develop my skills as a designer.
