Women after 40 often begin noticing changes in energy, mood, sleep, or metabolism that feel confusing or even frightening. Many don't realize these shifts may be connected to a menopause phase, and those who seek help often feel unheard by doctors. The symptoms women experience can be numerous and are often dismissed or overlooked

There is a limited awareness, limited research, and a historical gap in women's health. As a designer and as a woman, I wanted to work on something meaningful that supports them through this transition and guides them in a clear, accessible, and compassionate way.

This project will be developed in phases, and this was the first one. I designed a complete onboarding intake form that simplifies data collection to provide personalized recommendations. But the path wasn't straightforward.

The initial questions were confusing, some scales were inconsistent, and food types and portions were hard to visualize. During testing, I saw how small details can create hesitation and frustration and lead users to drop off. Iterating on these moments helped shape a smoother, clearer, and more engaging experience.

User testing showed that women were able to complete the form without dropping off. They stayed engaged and were willing to share information when the questions felt relevant.

In products like this, trust is essential. Testing validated that a personal tone, and presenting a real woman behind the product, helps build that trust.

I began this project in Vibe Coding. It was a great tool for quick prototyping and early exploration, but I eventually needed more flexibility to fully customize the product. Midway through, I switched back to Figma to build the high-fidelity screens.

Later on, I discovered that I could create and assign specific documentation for every interaction, giving me more control over the final result. As next steps, I'll continue exploring how to build fully finalized products with this tool.

After users complete the onboarding, they land on a dynamic dashboard that displays personalized recommendations through different modules. This dashboard is a larger, more complex project that requires additional time and resources.

For this phase, I focused on the Nutritional Advice module. With more time, I will continue expanding the dashboard by designing the remaining modules and addressing the challenge of data refresh.

This project sparked a deeper interest and opened my eyes to a space where women have long been unseen and unheard. I now understand what it means to design with care, clarity, and purpose.

My mission is to contribute to an equitable future, addressing the trust gap and creating solutions that genuinely empower and support all women.
