📌 Project Overview

121Vibes is an emotional support app designed to help users express their feelings, share concerns, and seek comfort in a safe digital space. Unlike traditional communication tools, 121Vibes was created to provide one-to-one support, motivation, and connection during moments of stress, anxiety, or loneliness. The app reflects my vision of technology as an emotional companion — blending empathetic design with functionality.

🚀 My Role

• Concept Ideation & UI/UX Design
• Created prototypes that visualize emotional journeys, not just screens.
• Worked with developers to ensure smooth, distraction-free interactions.

🔎 Challenge

Many students and young professionals struggle with mental health stigma, lack of safe spaces, and difficulty expressing emotions. We wanted to build a judgment-free app where people could vent their feelings safely, receive daily emotional boosts, and access wellness-oriented content.

💡 My Process

1. Research & Inspiration

I studied behavioral design principles around emotional well-being and collected insights from students about how they cope with stress. A recurring need emerged: “We don’t always need solutions, we need someone to listen.”

2. Design Approach

• Calm, Soothing UI: Used soft gradients, rounded elements, and pastel palettes for emotional safety.
• Mood Tracking: Quick taps let users share how they feel today.
• Personal Vibes: A space to write feelings, confessions, or thoughts.
• Supportive Nudges: Daily affirmations, motivational quotes, and reflective journaling prompts.
• Minimal Cognitive Load: Reduced clutter and kept interactions simple.

3. Collaboration & Development

I designed the app in Figma with emotional user journeys mapped out and partnered with developers to integrate smooth animations and transitions that feel natural and calming. We prioritized privacy and confidentiality in every feature.

📈 Results & Impact

• Users reported feeling heard and supported when using 121Vibes.
• Created a safe digital corner for students and young adults to open up.
• Increased awareness of emotional wellness in the Subharti University ecosystem.

✨ Why This Project Matters

121Vibes represents the human side of design in my portfolio. It wasn’t just about usability — it was about building empathy into an app. This project taught me how colors, words, and interactions affect emotions and proved that UX can touch hearts, not just screens.
