User Research & Design Strategy My role began with conducting in-depth research to understand the psychological barriers users face when trying to build a journaling habit. As the Researcher, I mapped overthinking patterns and designed a gamification system capable of fostering daily commitment without feeling overwhelming. I also served as the UI/UX Designer, ensuring that visual elements—such as 2D sprites and animations—worked harmoniously to create a safe, comfortable, and intuitive self-expression space for users.

Frontend Development & Security Technically, as the Frontend Developer, I implemented dynamic interfaces using SwiftUI to support real-time gamification features. My primary focus was ensuring absolute Privacy and Security; I built an On-Device Data Storage system so that all personal user thoughts remain stored locally on the device rather than external servers. I also integrated a smart Notification system to encourage user consistency in building positive habits through a responsive and private digital experience.
