Mosaic
Mosaic is a tool designed for multi-passionate people navigating career transitions and creative expansions. Inspired by research from Harvard’s Herminia Ibarra (Working Identity) and Megan Hellerer (Directional Living), the app helps users identify, test, and track multiple career paths through small, meaningful experiments.
Rather than forcing users toward one linear goal, Mosaic visualizes how their interests, actions, and emotions connect — revealing patterns that point toward a Mosaic of more fulfilling work.
An Intuition-Based Career Experimentation App
My role
Builder - via advanced AI tools like Base44
Product Designer
UX Researcher
Concept Strategist
Built with AI at it’s center
As a self-proclaimed product and design nerd, I dove right into AI building and design tools in Miro and Figma — and built the entire app using Based44. This crash cores in AI taught me invaluable best practices for building, designing, and iterating with AI.
Process & Approach
User Research: Conducted qualitative interviews with career changers, creatives, and multipotentialites to understand the emotional and practical barriers to career experimentation.
Behavioral Framework: Grounded the experience in learn-by-doing and emotional reflection principles from career change research and cognitive behavioral psychology.
UX & Visual Design: Designed a mobile prototype featuring circular “career tiles,” a task logging system with AI-generated micro-experiments, and a visualization mapping effort against emotional satisfaction.
Focused on Function over Form: At this MVP stage, it was important to make the app visually appealing to build trust and usability—but without getting caught in perfectionism. Functionality and testability remained the core priorities.
Onboarding & Copywriting: Crafted a warm, empathetic onboarding flow to reduce overwhelm and inspire curiosity, encouraging users to follow intuition over perfection.
Technology: Built the low-fidelity MVP in Base44, with plans to transition to a native iOS app.
The Result
Mosaic reframes career exploration as a creative practice — helping users transform confusion into clarity by visualizing how their efforts and emotions align across multiple paths.
