Take a Breathr, is a mindfulness and productivity app designed to make mental well being a natural part of a busy schedule rather than an extra task. As the lead product designer, I shaped the product vision, end to end user experience, and interaction model around a single core insight: most people want to practice mindfulness, but struggle to fit it into the reality of their existing workflows.

The app integrates directly with Google Calendar and uses AI to analyze daily schedules, identifying realistic moments for meditation without requiring manual planning. I focused on designing an experience that feels proactive yet respectful, surfacing “pockets of peace” at the right time while preserving user trust through a privacy first architecture.

A central part of the product is the guided breathing experience. I designed the core interaction patterns, visual system, and motion language around clarity and calm, including a breathing orb and high fidelity audio cues that support scientifically backed techniques like box breathing and 4-7-8 breathing. The minimalist interface intentionally reduces cognitive load, helping users stay present rather than manage another app.

Throughout the product, I balanced automation with agency, ensuring users could customize cadence, plan ahead, and seamlessly sync sessions back into their calendars. The result is an automated “zen assistant” that fits into real life, treating mindfulness as a scheduled priority while maintaining a sense of control, trust, and emotional ease for the user.
