About

For the first time, Bending Spoons hosted their Europe-wide competition in product development, called ProductFlows. Over the course of just three days, contestants were tasked to come up with a mobile-first solution that would solve at least one of three listed problems (given in the competition brief) related to mental health.

The submission

Bud

Grow a garden and become your own best buddy

Bring your mental health garden to life in the Bud app, where plants represent the areas you’d like to improve on, and flowers represent the good parts of yourself. Seeing the whole picture prevents you from gettin stuck on the bad parts.

Give roses to other users, without seeing their personal garden, and add an encouraging note!

An accompanying business plan was proposed and explained in the submission.

The app was conceptualized in Adobe XD and not programmed. Mockups were created in Adobe Photoshop.
