Overview
I independently developed DidYouSleep, a sleep-habit app that rewards users with “prosperity” credits when they meet their sleep goals. Those credits help grow a virtual planet, connecting a daily habit with a small sense of progress.
The Challenge
The design challenge was to make a sleep-habit app feel calm and rewarding at night. The interaction needed to communicate progress clearly while giving users a reason to return to their goals.
My Contribution
Design for the evening
Designed a calming nighttime interface using Apple’s Liquid Glass visual style, with buttons that scale on interaction.
Make feedback immediate
Designed a sleep-state ring to communicate the current state. Used Cursor for coding, Seedream for image generation, and Grok for video generation.
