Bolla

Problem
In recent years, an increasing number of digital products have been designed with persuasive techniques intended to keep users constantly engaged. This has contributed to the rise of smartphone addiction. This issue led to a central question that shaped the design process: "As a young UX/UI designer, how can I use my skills to help counter this problem?"

Concept
The project centers on the idea of creating a protected digital space, like a “bubble (bolla)”, where users can temporarily disconnect from overwhelming digital stimuli and engage in meaningful offline activities.

Solution
Bolla is a user-friendly mobile app designed to help users disconnect from their smartphones when needed and refocus on other activities. Through the use of gamification, Bolla enhances user motivation and encourages social interaction among members of its community.
