Collaborating with developers to ensure accurate implementation of designs.​​

In Nigeria, accessing mental health support is often hindered by stigma, limited availability of professionals, and high costs. Many individuals hesitate to seek help due to fear of judgment or lack of resources. The challenge was to design a platform that:

Provides a confidential and anonymous space for users to share their experiences.​

Connects users with licensed therapists affordably and conveniently.​

Offers a user-friendly interface accessible on mobile devices.

To address these challenges, I conducted:

User Interviews: Engaged with individuals who have sought or considered seeking mental health support to understand their concerns and preferences.​

Surveys: Collected data on the general perception of mental health services in Nigeria, focusing on barriers to access.​

Competitive Analysis: Reviewed existing mental health platforms to identify strengths and areas for improvement.

Developed wireframes outlining the user journey from anonymous story sharing to booking a counseling session. Ensured seamless navigation between features like reading stories, writing anonymously, and connecting with therapists

Crafted a clean and calming visual aesthetic to promote a sense of safety and trust. Utilized soothing color palettes and intuitive layouts to enhance user experience.​

Created interactive prototypes for both web and mobile applications. Conducted usability tests with target users, leading to refinements such as simplifying the booking process and enhancing the visibility of free resources like chat rooms and story-sharing features.​

User Growth: Achieved over 15,000 registered users within the first year, reflecting the platform's resonance with the target audience. ​

Accessibility: Offered therapy sessions ranging from ₦5,000 to ₦25,000 per hour, making mental health support more affordable compared to traditional services. ​
