Wick
"Burn Steady, Not Out"

Role: UX/UI Designer and Researcher for Wick
Programs Used: Figma, Adobe Illustrator

What is Wick?
​
Wick is a student-focused app designed to help balance school, work, self-care, and relationships without feeling burned out. Instead of using multiple apps to stay organized, Wick brings everything into one place. Students can manage daily tasks, set reminders, and create schedules that fit their routine.
​
One of Wick’s main features is the Pomodoro candle, which works as a visual timer. Users can choose how long they want to focus, and as time passes, the candle slowly burns down. This helps make studying and time management feel calmer and less stressful, while also being useful for meditation or short breaks.
​
Wick also includes an AI assistant that helps with daily planning, suggests study times, and gives gentle reminders based on the user’s schedule. The app is designed with a clean and calming interface to help students stay focused without distractions. Overall, Wick is meant to support productivity while also reminding students to slow down, take care of themselves, and keep a healthy balance in their daily lives.
​
What Problem does Wick Address?
​
Many people struggle to balance school, work, self-care, and relationships at the same time. With busy schedules, constant deadlines, and outside responsibilities, it is easy to feel overwhelmed or burned out. People often rely on multiple apps to manage tasks, reminders, and schedules, which can become confusing and stressful instead of helpful.
​
Traditional productivity apps also tend to focus only on getting work done and ignore mental health and personal well-being. This can make students feel pressured to always be productive without taking breaks or caring for themselves.

Wick addresses this problem by combining productivity and self-care into one app. It helps people stay organized while encouraging healthy focus habits through features like the Pomodoro candle and AI planning support. By keeping everything in one calm, easy-to-use space, Wick helps students manage their time better without feeling overwhelmed.
