Blossun

Helping busy individuals remember
to prioritize health and wellness in their daily lives.

For my senior capstone project, I wanted to explore how design and technology could encourage busy individuals to prioritize their health and wellness. In today’s fast-paced world, packed schedules and digital distractions often push self-care to the sidelines, leaving people feeling drained and disconnected.

Blossun is an app and movement that encourages mindfulness through real-time sunset notifications, journaling features, and social sharing. By integrating small, intentional breaks into daily routines, it aims to foster habit-building and mental well-being.

The Challenge

Busy individuals fail to make time for their health.

Since COVID and beyond, social media consumption has surged substantially. Subsequently, mental health in young adults has plummeted.

Mobile App

6 Point Wellness Scale

The 6 Point Wellness Scale uses six petals, each representing a mood from 1 (lowest) to 6 (most positive). Users slide to select their current state and can add tags for context, making mood tracking simple and personalized.

💌 Flow 1: Create a journal entry

Blossun prompts users at sunrise or sunset to log a journal entry using a mood and wellness scale, with the option to add photos, written reflections, and tags.

💌 Flow 2: View journal archive

Browse journal archive, revisit past entries, moods, and photos to reflect on their wellness journey over time.

💌 Flow 3: Discover people and places

Users can discover people and places by showcasing shared sunset moments, community posts, and location tags to inspire connection and exploration.

💌 Flow 4: Review mood insights

Blossun visualizes mood and wellness trends over time, helping users review insights, track patterns, and understand how daily habits impact their well-being.

Design System

The Blossun design system merges the softness of blooming petals with the warmth of the sun, creating a visual language that reflects the revitalizing effect of nature. Through textured gradients, organic shapes, and uplifting color palettes, it fosters a sense of calm and mindfulness while maintaining a vibrant, energizing feel.
