Howiya is a mental health app that is designed to work in conjunction with the mental health services in colleges. It works on three levels of mental health guidance; self care, mental illness information and guides, and access to college counselling services and external mental health services. The apps aim is to end the stigma around mental health and stat a conversation around it.

Outcome
For this project, I applied universal design principles to enhance the usability and accessibility of the app. Designing for mental health, especially that of college students, comes with many challenges but overall I feel that the app could positively benefit college students.
