Introduction to Daylight

This project was one of the first pieces of content created in partnership with the marketing team. It acts as a good entry level piece that new users could watch to better understand what Daylight is all about and how they can use it to get better at managing their anxiety. Using the products current visual style, I used this opportunity to start introducing different style elements, like texture, to help expand the world of the Daylight character.

in-app screens

One of the major projects in improving the visual style of this app was creating different illustrations that would be served up on the Home Screen when a user would open the app. The purpose was to find a way to make the content feel fresh and engaging as they go through the program. I also introduced more texture and other graphic elements that could help make the illustration be narratively relevant to the content that the user would see. This was made in collaboration with product design to work within the constraints of the design specs.

These are some concepts for refreshing the app’s login screen when the user opens the app either for the first time or if they’re logged out. I went through a few iterations, exploring motifs that have been used in the program and also just utilizing texture and shape. We ended at using the screen at the end of the carousel below since it best captured a more “evergreen” approach.

help me sleep now feature

For Sleepio, this was one of the features in the program that needed a big facelift. In collaboration with product design, I created illustrations for the different audio exercises that is in the Sleepio companion app. I captured the essence of the technique through visuals that are related to the exercise to help set up expectations for the user while also making it easy and memorable to differentiate between them.
