Calmscapes: Designing Peace for Stress Relief II

In this episode, we dive into a fascinating UX case study with our cohost Elsy, who takes us behind the scenes of Calmscapes, a stress-relief app she designed to help users find their calm in the chaos of everyday life. What started as an ambitious AR/VR project evolved into a practical MVP featuring real videos of serene natural environments—think peaceful beaches and tranquil mountain sides.

Join us as we explore her journey, the challenges of designing for mental wellness, and the creative pivots that shaped Calmscapes into a tool for mindfulness and escape.
