ABOUT

DESIGN BRIEF
Develop a self-initiated project that responds to a subject, issue, cause or narrative that is important to you. When considering the subject of your self-initiated project, we want you to reflect on your personal interests, identity and experience.

You can use any medium you wish with this project. Whatever the choice of materials or media, make sure that you have a clear aim and that your approach is relevant to what you are trying to convey.

SELF-INITIATED PROJECT
I chose a project that is personal to me to answer this brief. Having lived in London for over ten years but originally from Hungary, I had numerous difficulties to overcome
before I settled. There are thousands of other nationalities experiencing the same problems. Many can’t cope with the stress and end up moving back home.

Research Question:
How can a design app offer guidance and support to foreign nationals, helping them settle in London and successfully achieve their goals?

WELLMIND LIFE-COACHING APP - COLLABORATION

I decided to collaborate with my sister, a qualified psychologist who does voluntary counselling/life coaching for a charity start-up in Budapest, Hungary.

She introduced me to the GROW model, an internationally recognised and widely-used coaching technique consisting of four levels: G=Grow, R=Reality, W=Will, and O=Option. Each section comes with a series of questions to help coachees in their self-discovery journey, unleash their potential and achieve their personal goals in life. We realised we could turn that into a feasible design solution.
