The Challenge
Initially, Mindbloom faced significant barriers impacting client satisfaction and retention.
Cumbersome digital interactions: No dedicated mobile app and reliance on external platforms for content resulted in frequent disruptions and fragmented experience.
Ineffective dosage: Clients often struggled with suboptimal dosage, unaware they could request adjustments, leading to dissatisfaction and disengagement.
Poor onboarding and low activation: Unintuitive onboarding and lack of guidance led to delays between purchase and first session, reducing early engagement and client momentum.
Rigid repurchasing flow: Clients faced stress and therapeutic interruptions due to inflexible repurchasing options.
My Approach
I led a comprehensive redesign of Mindbloom's client experience across the mobile app, content, and service. I prioritized clarity, therapeutic effectiveness, user-centered design, and data-driven decisions. Below is an overview of my process.
