Calypso

Calypso is an educational app for preventing stress, anxiety and insomnia. The original site was built from a template, and the client wanted a new one that would feel professional and calm at the same time. It had to speak to individuals, young people included, and to companies offering the app to their staff.

On the first call we mostly agreed on what we did not want: Headspace-style playfulness, loud colours or a dark tech look. What stayed was a muted green and a warm beige that, in the client's words, feels like the paper of a good book. Pure white would feel like a doctor's coat.

Instead of Figma mockups I built straight in code. From the start the client clicked through the real site on desktop and phone, and we discussed feedback on actual pages.

I also designed the app screens in the same style as the website. They replaced the original placeholder images and you can see them on the site. On top of that I prepared sponsor decks in Czech and English.

The client and I have also agreed on building the app itself. The plan is to move it from a no-code platform to its own Supabase backend, add Stripe subscriptions, rework the interface, and finally ship it as an iOS and Android app.
