PRODUCT
Engaging in the wrong types of social media can hurt mental health, causing jealousy, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, and even anger.
Cookie Jar is an app where users can boost their mental health and make a positive impact without quitting social media. Users can give each other "cookies", where they publicly praise and reward their friends for performing good deeds and demonstrating mindful values, like kindness and reliability. Your network can see your cookies and know you've been doing good things!
As a UX/UI designer, you'll need to design an intuitive flow that allows users to engage in a positive social media experience. You'll need to have an eye for social media interfaces, while making a delightful and engaging experience that keeps users coming back for more good deeds.
