ARC
Combining AI analysis with human strategy to help creators uncover opportunities and build stronger content systems.
ARC is a mobile application designed to support individuals living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The app combines three key pillars of recovery community support, professional therapy, and self-guided activities into a single, simple platform.
ARC brings recovery resources, therapy support, and self-guided wellness tools together into a single experience designed to reduce friction and improve accessibility. The challenge was creating a platform that feels supportive, trustworthy, and easy to navigate while balancing emotional sensitivity with usability.

Project Timeline
The ARC project was completed over three months, beginning with research and understanding recovery needs, followed by information architecture, user flows, and experience design. The process focused on creating a supportive, structured, and accessible experience for individuals navigating PTSD recovery.
Challenges & Project Goals
ARC needed a recovery experience that supports individuals living with PTSD without adding cognitive burden. Research highlighted challenges around overwhelming onboarding, fear and anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and difficulty accessing recovery resources consistently. The goal was to create a simple, structured experience that brings community support, therapy resources, and self-guided recovery activities into one accessible platform while reducing friction and improving emotional safety.
Challenges
Individuals navigating PTSD recovery often face emotional overload, fragmented support systems, and complex experiences that increase cognitive strain and reduce engagement.
