Challenge & Process

Initiating profound conversations with close ones often presents challenges due to emotional barriers, generational gaps, and time constraints. Users expressed difficulties in starting these dialogues, fearing judgment or discomfort. Existing resources lacked personalized guidance and tools to facilitate such interactions, leading to missed opportunities for connection and understanding.

We explored user needs through surveys and interviews to understand the emotional barriers around deep conversations. Many users expressed hesitation in opening up and a desire for a supportive, judgment-free environment. These insights guided the tone, features, and structure of Stella to ensure it felt safe, personal, and easy to use.

Solution & Impact

The final product is an intuitive platform that empowers users to engage in meaningful conversations. With features like guided prompts, tone assistance, and speech-to-text recording, Stella offers a comprehensive solution for deepening personal connections. The design fosters a welcoming atmosphere, encouraging users to share and preserve their stories.
