Optimism Mental Health Companion

Objective

Design a calm, supportive space to check in, reflect and find coping tools on hard days.

What I did

I designed the app and its brand palette in Paper and used Claude, Codex and ChatGPT to shape the experience and build a working prototype. It starts with a quick mood check-in, then Lumi, a companion chat, helps talk things through. A guided journal, CBT, DBT and somatic worksheets, and a weekly patterns view with a care plan make it easier to notice what affects your mood and know where to turn when you need extra support.
