Larivo
Online Storytelling App Platform for Mental Health
Client: Larivo (Christopher Nsimbe)
Overview & Goals:
Larivo is a platform where users share or listen to mental-health stories, access related resources (articles, events, counseling), and engage with a supportive community.
The aim was to design an intuitive, warm, and trustworthy digital experience that helps users navigate emotional journeys, discover relevant resources, and share stories securely.
Team + My Role:
Worked in a team setting covering user research, wireframing, prototyping, and high-fidelity UI design.
My contributions were especially focused on the UI portion: designing the layout, screens, interactive elements, visual hierarchy, and user flow to enhance clarity and emotional impact.
Also involved in creating wireframes (low-, mid-, high-fidelity), prototyping for test feedback, and collaborating with stakeholders to refine design details.
Key Deliverables:
UI design of storytelling flows, resource discovery, and user profile sections
Low- to high-fidelity wireframes showing progression of layout and interaction refinement
Clickable prototype for testing usability and feedback cycles
Visual design assets formatted for mobile, ensuring readability and performance on different screen sizes
