Problem:

Busy schedules and physical distance can make it difficult to consistently show up for loved ones, even when emotional support and reassurance are needed most.

Solution:

I designed and developed a lightweight web app featuring my cat, Miku, as a virtual messenger who delivers uplifting messages on my behalf. The app uses a friendly, intuitive interface and custom illustrations to create moments of warmth and connection when I’m unavailable.

Impact:

• Reinforces emotional connection and reassurance during moments of physical absence.

• Demonstrates how small, intentional digital interactions can foster warmth and support.

• Translates a personal need into an empathetic, user-centered experience.

• Highlights the use of custom illustrations to enhance approachability and emotional tone.
