A daily check-in system.

In 2020, I was part of Intellect (Asia's fastest growing mental wellness start-up company). During my time at Intellect, I designed a check-in system to help improve our app's stickiness and DAU by 126%.

Product Designer, 2020

Due to non-disclosure agreements, some of the data has been purposely omitted.

Over 1 million users worldwide.

We have high daily downloads, but app's stickiness is a huge issue.

7 in 10 stop using after 7 days.

We did rounds of design workshops to gather our thoughts and insights.  

7-day journal study.

In that journal study, we recruited a series of participants to help us understand how they are interacting with our app over the course of 7 days.

Gathering our thoughts with affinity mapping exercises.

With each of our research insights, we put them to our post-its and mapped it to some behavioural themes.

Concept presentations.

The team and I did a rose,bud, thorn exercise to brainstorm ideas and concepts.

Our goal is to improve the app's stickiness and DAU.

Turning insights to hypotheses.

Users have yet to see the value of Intellect.

Users can get lost in their own emotions.

Users often mistake their own emotions. Emotions like anger, sadness, or regret are hard to differentiate.

Users feel overwhelmed when they open the app.

Users do not know how to get started with using the app. Currently, we have too much educational information, but users do not know which is the best for them.

As a user, I need to know how I am actually feeling so I can know what help I need to feel better instantly.

Design for a better future.
