As part of a collaborative effort with the content, product, and development teams, I contributed to the concept and design of the "Impulse" feature for Balloon. Inspired by mindfulness cards created by Helga and Thomas Ulrich, this feature offers users weekly mindfulness impulses with practical, everyday tasks introduced through audio by our expert Boris.

In my role as product designer, I guided the feature from wireframes to implementation, crafting both the user interface and the user experience. To preserve the feel of a card game, we intentionally avoided standard UI patterns and instead integrated the tactile and visual elements of drawing cards into the design.

User feedback during testing highlighted the value of the “Impulse” feature, showing it to be a meaningful addition to the app by helping users integrate mindfulness into their daily lives.
