HAVEN
SOCIAL APP DESIGN
Haven is a nature-inspired social platform designed to foster more meaningful, authentic connections. Instead of emphasizing curated personas, it allows users to share how they see and feel through simple, intuitive lenses that make emotional expression easier to communicate.
By extending beyond the screen into everyday environments, Haven creates subtle moments for reflection and interaction—turning ordinary spaces into opportunities for deeper human connection

Research showed that many people want to communicate their emotional state and perspective but struggle to express it clearly. Simple signals or shared “lenses” can help translate internal feelings into something others can easily understand.

HAVEN SAFE SPACE
The purpose of this safe space is to bring the meaningful connections cultivated in the app into real life. This project encourages deep, authentic interaction with others while fostering awareness of the natural world around you. Users can take the skills practiced on the app, reflection, mindfulness, and connection, and apply them in person. Interactive tools, like icebreaker cards, events, and coffee sleeves that capture personal perspectives, create opportunities to connect beyond surface-level conversation. This space is designed to help people express themselves, be understood, and engage in moments of genuine connection.
