Mood
Mobile App Design
Overview
Mood is an original mobile app concept for college students who struggle with mental health and want to focus on selfcare. When signing up for an account, the user will indicate the college or university they are attending. Mood uses this information to offer the student a more personalized self-care experience, providing them easy access to university resources, connecting them with other users, and even allowing them to link their app with their University
Solution
The Mood mobile app was designed with the intention to reduce the stigma of seeking help for mental health and promote a more open campus environment for all students.
Sarah Hebel Collaborative design with Mandy EspericuetaApp Goals
1. Track emotions and actions
2. Guidance towards the users self-care journey
3. Inspire and motivate college students
4. Customization within the app
Competitors
Mood’s competitors are Habitica, Finch, and Youper. These apps are self tracking and feel better apps. The competitors are unorganized, overwhelming. Mood is different because it is simple, organized, fun, and targets college students.
Target Audience
The target audience is college students who are struggling with mental health. Mood targets students who might be too shy or afraid to ask for help. The app encourages students to express themselves and to visit the counseling center.
Research
After interviewing college students, it was made clear that many students are afraid to go to the counseling center. There were a few students that didn’t know where the counseling was. With Mood, we want to target students who are too afraid to open up or too scared to visit the counseling center. We want students to know where the counseling center is and that it is a safe place to open up.

Annual Report
Lovely
Magazine Overview
Lovely has devoted itself to publishing stories covering body positivity and diversity for women. We hear the stories of women and we are here with open arms for support. We cover many things in Lovely like defining body positivity, words of affirmation, tips, and more. Our overall goal is to create a safe place for women and to let them know that they are lovely as they are.
Solution
To help women on their journey to find love within their bodies, we created a soft and friendly brand. Soft words and round shapes are used throughout the magazine. It was important to use many pinks and whites throughout the magazine to make the overall tone sweet and welcoming.
Sarah HebelCompetitors
Many body types and sizes are not accepted by society. These expectations can lead to poor mental health, body dissatisfaction, and unhealthy behaviors around food and exercise. Plus, Diversity Woman, and FabUplus are competitors for Lovely. Some of Lovely’s competitors lack diversity. Lovely is more inclusive and helps women love their bodies.
Moodboard
It was important to incorporate many shades of pinks and soft colors. Body positivity and diversity are the most important factors for the magazine. It is important to show women who are confident with their bodies and to show a diverse group of women of all shapes and sizes. Stories, photos, and illustrations included in the magazine are powerful and telling.

During my conversations with peers, I discussed my brand and how I wanted a lot of round shapes. Then the idea came to make the logo round and to play with the letter ‘y’.
