Problem


Remote art therapists face challenges working with current digital and facetime tools.


Current digital art tools and facetime products often fall short in replicating the sensory experience of in-person sessions.




Solution


Arte is a product to help online art therapy sessions become more immersive and intuitive.


With Arte’s art tool kit and digital workspace, the online art therapy session can feel as real and interactive as physical ones.





























User Persona

Josh is an art therapist working remotely full time, he is facing challenges with the current facetime tool for the sessions, and hope to find a product to solve the problem.

User feedbacks






Design Revisions Through User Feedbacks

Through user feedback, I realized that art therapists usually use desktop devices for remote sessions. I also removed unneccessary features. liike the news & ideas and gallery, and added emailing and messaging tools for communicatiion prooductivity.













UI Design

For the UI design and brand guideline, I created an identity that feels calm and also colorful to represent the core of art therapy.
