The Shift App is a mindfulness and meditation platform designed to help users develop consistent mental wellness habits. The goal of the redesign was to attract a younger audience (ages 22-35) and improve engagement. I led the redesign as the Lead UX/UI Designer, working closely with a small design team and collaborating with the development team for a seamless implementation.

To achieve this, we added key features like live streaming and gamification elements, such as Journeys - interactive programs users could complete. We also overhauled the UI to create a more modern and engaging experience. These updates resulted in a 36% increase in daily active users (DAU) and a significant boost in user retention.
