Aspirational Me

Aspirational Me is a native iOS app that turns vague self-improvement goals into a structured process. It walks users from reflecting on what they value, to defining a personal vision, to setting concrete goals tied to specific areas of their life, then tracks progress against all of it.

Branding & Aesthetic

The app opens on a real night sky photograph, a lone figure standing under the Milky Way, and that image sets the tone for everything after it. The interface stays dark throughout, deep navy and black, so the handful of blue accent buttons and highlights carry all the visual weight. The mark is a simple letter "A" with a small spark beside it, paired with the wordmark in a clean sans-serif. Nothing about it reads as loud or gamified. It reads more like a quiet space to think.

Information Architecture & Wireframes

Onboarding introduces the app's three-step framework, Vision, Action, Progress, and that same step indicator carries through the rest of the flow so users always know where they stand. After account creation and email verification, the Vision stage asks a series of reflection questions (what brings someone joy, what they're grateful for, what their core values are) and has them pick from a set of value tags before writing their own vision statement, closing with a congratulations screen once it's done. The Action stage then has users choose three to five areas of life to focus on out of six options, physical, spiritual, financial, intellectual, relationships, and service, then drill into each one to describe their aspirational self before turning that into an actual goal, complete with frequency and toggles for recurring tracking and progress reporting.

Julien continues to do an excellent job for us. We have used him on several design projects and he continues to impress!
Collin David@ATSAP
We hired Julien with the intent of creating a new UI design for a mobile app from scratch. He was able to work at our budget, and met deadlines. Great work, and we will be using him regularly as our team designer as much as possible in the future!
Thomas Tovin@Stockpile
Julien was very responsive to our communications and flexible with meeting availability. Took our project requirements and delivered exactly what we were looking for. I enjoyed working with Julien and will likely work with him again when the opportunity arises.
Freddy Shamoon@Cerenade
As always, Julien is not only creative, but quick, reliable, and responsive. He manages to take our vision and run with it with very little direction, and the result is always exactly what we're looking for. We'll be working with him again!
Jordan Scheffler@Crewfare
Julien is a great asset to any company or project. He was able to quickly get familiar with our company and hit the ground running to build a design system using Figma. He was able to complete projects on time and with little oversight. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Julien for any product design project.
Chris Tanzi@Babson
