Adobe Creative Jam
OOM: The Out Of Mind App
Me and Jeff Deibel combined forces to take on a live UX design showdown for Adobe's Creative Jam 💪 We promised a once-in-a-lifetime event: a prototype filled with farts & funky typefaces, some profuse sweating, or at the very least, the opportunity to enjoy a beer as we went out in a blaze of glory. 😂
Pitted against 4 teams, we were given ~2.5 hours to create prototype around the theme of "Mindfulness" (fitting since it was World Mental Health Day 😂).

The Big Download
We started by getting all our ideas down on post-its, before organizing by concept and features, ultimately whittling down to an MVP. We also have a giant backlog and maybe-not-log for future releases.
Mindfulness is SO hot right now. So we needed to make a (back)splash.
Everybody's taking themselves so seriously, but if you know us, we definitely don't. We wanted to stand out from other mindfulness apps by being more lighthearted and playful, that's a little bit more outside the box.
Our Solution
Meet OOM:
The Out Of Mind experience for the overwhelmed. We want to remind you to take care of yourself with a reprieve that cuts out the seriousness, giving you delightful little moments that meet you where you're at.

A "spunkiest" team spirit award
At the end of the night, we had 2 minutes to present our prototype to a live audience. We were declared the winners for the People's Choice award, and the judges awarded us with the "spunkiest" team and the runner-up. It was a great competition! 🤗
We kept our promises:
✅ A prototype filled with farts 💨
✅ Funky typefaces 💃
✅ Some profuse sweating 🥵
✅ AND the beers 🍻
Thanks Adobe! 💕
