UI/UX Design

This project explores how design can support self-esteem and positive self-talk, specifically for dancers who often struggle with body image, comparison, and self-judgment. Through my research, I found that many dancers are highly critical of themselves, especially when looking in the mirror, and that this mindset can also lead to subconscious judgment of others.

My concept is an app that turns the mirror into a space for encouragement rather than criticism. Users would post a mirror photo and receive affirmations from others, with the messages appearing on their screen like lipstick writing on a mirror. To create a cycle of support, users must give affirmations in order to receive them. The goal is to help dancers shift the way they see themselves and others, replacing judgment with kindness, confidence, and community.
