Soluna

Most sleep apps hand you the tools and leave you to figure out the rest. With Soluna, we set out to be different. Created in partnership with Pillow Cube, the Soluna Sleep AI clock uses natural cues like light, sound, scent, and temperature to guide users into healthier sleep patterns. My job was to design the mobile app that brought this hardware to life: an experience that learns from the user and acts as a partner on the journey to better rest.

That meant tackling a few big challenges. First, how to stand out in an already crowded sleep and wellness space. Second, how to design an app that spent less time asking the user to control every setting and more time learning from their feedback, allowing the device and app could work together to create the perfect routine. To get there, I worked in tandem with the Industrial designer to build the app’s structure and user flow, established a design system with a uniquely personable tone of voice, and developed interactions that felt unconventional but intuitive. I also wrote copy, crafted a visual language that balanced calm with sophistication, and collaborated closely with engineering to make sure the final build delivered on both polish and personality.

The result was a product that doesn’t just track sleep—it actively participates in it, blending innovative hardware with a digital experience that feels equal parts intelligent and human.
