Lumo

Lumo is a conceptual focus and wellbeing app designed to help students and knowledge workers build sustainable focus habits without pressure, guilt, or productivity anxiety. Rather than optimizing for speed or output, Lumo explores how calm language, gentle structure, and intentional motion can support clarity and long-term engagement.

UIUX design

Project Problem

Most productivity tools rely on urgency, streaks, and performance metrics.
While effective short-term, they often increase stress, cognitive overload, and burnout.

Users need tools that:

  • Reduce mental pressure

  • Respect fluctuating energy

  • Communicate clearly without demanding attention


Goal

Design a focus experience that:

  • Uses content as guidance, not enforcement

  • Prioritizes clarity over quantity

  • Supports focus through tone, hierarchy, and motion

  • Feels calm, human, and emotionally aware



Key Design Decisions

  • Language-first UX: Content choices were made before visuals.

  • Single-action screens: Each screen focuses on one primary action.

  • Gentle feedback: No streaks, no comparisons, no performance pressure.

  • Motion as communication: Animation reinforces meaning, not decoration.


Outcome

Lumo demonstrates how thoughtful content design, information hierarchy, and visual restraint can create a focus experience that feels supportive rather than demanding.

This project reflects my interest in designing emotionally aware digital products where clarity, tone, and structure work together to shape user behavior.
