Overview

Seed-Up is a gamified learning platform that helps professionals develop new skills through interactive challenges, AI-driven coaching, and reflective feedback. Designed for corporate training and continuous development, it transforms traditional learning programs into engaging, habit-building experiences. My work focused on defining the product vision, designing the end-to-end experience, and proving that clarity and motivation can drive deeper learning outcomes in professional contexts.

Seed-Up entered a saturated market of wellness and habit apps with no existing product or user data. The vision was ambitious - “make self-improvement engaging with AI.”

  • Business: Build differentiation through user retention and daily engagement, not just content volume.

  • Users: Overwhelmed by open-ended tools, they needed clear goals, achievable feedback, and guidance.

  • Operations: Define a repeatable UX structure that could scale with rapid experimentation.

Thesis: Create a guided, game-like journey where users feel progress instantly - powered by an approachable AI coach.

The design process blended gamification, personalization, and progressive disclosure - keeping users focused, not flooded.

  • Discovery & Alignment: Clarified core motivation loop (“Challenge → Act → Reflect → Grow”) through stakeholder workshops and competitor audits (Noom, Headway, Habitica).

  • System Design: Built a modular challenge framework with levels, streaks, and points to trigger momentum while maintaining psychological safety (no punishment loops).

  • AI Coach Integration: Introduced a conversational, supportive tone — transforming generic prompts into personal micro-coaching moments.

  • Interface: Designed a dynamic dashboard showing one primary challenge, clear progress, and daily reflections for cognitive simplicity.

  • Validation: Ran a pilot with a famous French Bank to tune tone, pacing, and feedback clarity - resulting in simplified visuals and more linear onboarding.

Seed-Up proved that clarity fuels engagement. By reducing options and amplifying feedback, we created a sustainable loop of motivation and achievement.

  • Business: Defined a clear value narrative - gamified learning with emotional intelligence.

  • Users: Felt guided, celebrated, and supported rather than judged.

  • Design: Demonstrated that simplicity and delight drive retention more than features.

We turned motivation into momentum - designing a system that makes personal growth feel both structured and fun.
