Breathe Deeply
An immersive website that pairs breathwork exercises with animated natural environments and soundscapes, designed as a capstone project to make breathwork more accessible and understandable for novice meditators.
Research
The wellness market is bursting with opportunity.
My personal interest in breathwork therapy led me to a three-month research phase, reading medical papers, articles, and books on its origins, techniques, and effects. I also studied top competitors in the meditation and wellness space, testing their products and mapping out UX and visual design patterns to identify what a strong MVP could look like.
Challenges
Tackling a technology I had no experience with.
Breathe Deeply was my first project incorporating 3D design. I taught myself how to model and animate each scene, including soft-body animation, which proved to be the most time-consuming and technically demanding part of the project. I built smaller practice scenes and worked through tutorials to build the skill before tackling the real thing, though the learning curve pushed my original timeline.
