Enrich is centered around the user’s mental health and well-being. As this daily challenge is often a neglected feature of therapists’ lives, we aim to inform, incentivize, and encourage healthy practices through our self-care app. Enrich allows therapists to input their mood, feelings, notes, and other information quickly and efficiently. This streamlines the process of data collection to then create helpful recommendations.
How might we help therapists actively pursue self-care?
Enrich was created during a 10 week Human Centered Design course. We spent the quarter following the Human Centered Design process from ideation to finalized high-fidelity mockups. Our group of four studied mental health therapists and created a self-care focused mobile application.
OUR
PROCESS
01
USER RESEARCH
We conducted a series of interviews with therapists to understand their specific needs and gain insight into how we might be able to design for them.
PERSONAS
& JOURNEY MAPS
We synthesized our research into two distinct personas in order to solidify our understanding of our user group. We then developed a user journey map.

03
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
& STORYBOARDS
After narrowing down specific pain-points and goals, we developed four key design requirements and storyboarded user experiences.
INFORMATION
ARCHITECTURE
We produced an information architecture from our key paths defined by our storyboards, which allowed us to visualize our understanding of the design challenges.
04
05
PAPER
PROTOTYPES
We synthesized our information architecture into a paper prototype so we could run preliminary usability testing.
ANNOTATED
WIREFRAMES
After incorporating user feedback from the paper prototypes, we created a wireframe for Enrich. This let us flesh out our ideas into a fully featured application.

07
FINAL
PRODUCT
We took our three most important pathways and created high-fidelity mockups. We defined a style guide and created a calming, friendly, and consistent design.
ABOUT
WE ARE
Enrich was designed through the University of Washington’s Human Centered Design & Engineering Department as part of our User Experience Design course. Enrich is formed from undergraduate students Caroline Slick, Griffen Schwiesow, Iman Alhakim, and Rachel Rodney.
