In development · funding on the way
A child therapist came with a clear mission and no product yet: help kids and teens understand their emotions and how their brain works. Together we shaped it into a two-sided app: interactive games, journaling prompts and daily check-ins for kids, and an AI-powered version for parents with insight and concrete ways to connect.
The client is a therapist who works with children. She brought deep expertise in the psychology of emotions, and didn’t know where to start with a digital product.
My job was to turn her knowledge into an experience kids would actually choose to come back to.
Psychology is hard to explain to adults, let alone to a young child or a teenager. The app had to:
Interactive games are the core of the experience. At the end of each level or challenge, kids find short, easy-to-digest content, so they learn right after they’ve experienced something, and can carry it into their day.
Journaling prompts and daily check-ins give kids a simple, repeatable way to notice and name what they feel.
Kids and parents need very different things. Parents get their own version of the app that turns journaling, check-ins and learning into insight about what their child is going through.
An AI integration pairs those insights with specific recommendations, so parents don’t just see data: they get concrete ways to connect with their kids.
Her clinical knowledge defined what each experience needed to teach. UX defined how to make kids want to play it.
How we worked together
Product screens aren’t shown here to respect the client’s confidentiality. The cover is a concept visualization, and I’m happy to walk you through the real work on a call.
