problem
Mindfulness has never been so prevalent as it is today with today's emphasis on mental health. However, mindfulness products and services tend to be confusing and overwhelming due to the wealth of information shared on the internet. Targeting consumers already in the mindfulness community wasn't working for Inner Mandala Medicine (IMM) as these consumers typically look to friends and well-known resources for their information. IMM needed to rebrand and reposition their products to capitalize on the new consumers entering the market.
brand positioning
Dala delivers tangible integrative practices designed for the uniqueness of your mandala (life) to aid in the skill of self-mentorship, cultivating confidence and awareness to the natural unfolding of your everyday life and everyday self.

UX/UI Design
When designing Dala's new website, I conducted user interviews and usability testing. It was clear the search for holistic healing practices was initiated by the self-awareness of a specific symptom. Dala's website allows users to drive their own search through pairing practices and symptoms. Each offering clearly indicates which symptoms it addresses. When needed, product education is broken into digestible sections geared at helping users understand how these practices can address their personal challenges.
