SOULO
December 2024
---------------------------
SOULO is a mindfulness tool and community for solo walkers, created as part of my first final-year project at the University of the Arts London (UAL). It combines creative prompts, nature exploration, and personal reflection into a unique experience. At its core, SOULO consists of a physical card deck with prompts tailored to different environments—forests, mountains, cities, and coastal areas—encouraging users to deepen their connection to their surroundings and themselves. These prompts are further supported by a companion app that enhances the experience, allowing users to generate card numbers, log reflections, track their journeys, and connect with other solo adventurers.
More than just a product, SOULO is a philosophy inspired by the psychological and physical benefits of solo hiking and the transformative power of mindfulness in nature. It aims to inspire users to slow down, observe the world with curiosity, and find clarity and creativity in solitude. This project reflects my passion for design and my dedication to creating tools that support individual growth while building a sense of community.
