THE ORIGIN

The Yoga Notes app project was born from the desire to bring Eva-Lotta Lamm’s book, “Yoga Notes,” into the digital realm. While the book held all the content, transitioning it into an app presented unique challenges and opportunities. As the sole UX/UI designer, I embarked on this journey, fully aware that every design project, no matter how seemingly straightforward, demands a clear mind and adaptability.

THE PRODUCT VISION

Eva-Lotta Lamm’s book had a clear purpose, and the app needed to uphold its essence. The vision was to create an app that not only digitized the content but also enriched the user experience. This meant translating step-by-step yoga guidance into an interactive and intuitive digital format. The app aimed to cater to yoga enthusiasts and newcomers alike, providing them with a seamless path to physical and mental well-being.
