Tarot
UX/UI Design | Mobile App | 2025
A gentle tarot app made to feel like you're reading cards with a close friend.
🌿 It all started with a feeling:
​
"I miss our tarot evenings..."
​
When Nastya and I lived together, we had a little ritual — we’d end our days with tarot readings. Soft music, candlelight, big conversations. It wasn’t just about the cards — it was about connection.
​
Then she moved to Spain. Suddenly, those shared moments became harder to have.
The tarot apps out there? Cold, clunky, overly mystical or overly gamified. They didn’t feel like us.
So I decided to make something that did.
🌙 The Idea
A personal, cozy tarot experience. Something that felt soft, emotional, and slow — like a gentle conversation with someone who really knows you.
​
You choose what you want to reflect on — love, self, career. You draw the cards, one by one, with intention. Then the app reveals them slowly, with calming transitions and supportive messages.
It’s designed to feel like Nastya: warm, introspective, intuitive.
🦋 Design Choices
-
Natural shapes & gradients to make it feel like a dream or memory.
-
Soft typography and language — not mystical, just human.
-
A personal tone — the app talks to you, and gives each reading room to breathe.
I used illustration and gentle motion to recreate the feeling of being held in a space where you can think, reflect, and feel.
💌 What Happened Next
I shared the prototype with a few close friends, including Nastya.
Watching her use it made me emotional. Even through a screen, I could feel that familiar pause, that soft smile, that moment of reflection.
It wasn’t about impressing users — it was about reconnecting.
Designing for someone you love makes every detail feel like a gift.
🌸 What I Learned
​
This project reminded me that design isn’t always about solving a big problem.
Sometimes, it’s just about bringing someone you love a little closer.
