Stretch + Paws
The client is a New York-based yoga studio catering to individuals interested in yoga practice, particularly beginners seeking guidance and support.
The client identified a need to enhance the yoga experience for beginners by providing a user-friendly and engaging mobile app that offers instructions and timers for yoga poses. The challenge was to design an app that seamlessly integrates the playful cat theme while remaining functional and practical for yoga practitioners.

Early wireframes were crafted to outline the app's layout and functionality. Design decisions were made to ensure a seamless user experience while incorporating the playful cat theme.
Prototyping
Interactive prototypes were developed to simulate user interactions and test usability. Design choices were guided by the goal of creating an engaging and intuitive user experience.
