Context Lind is a self-initiated concept for reducing waiting times for psychologist referrals in the Norwegian public health system. The idea: let users share their concerns securely and receive a response from a licensed mental health practitioner within 10 days. I developed Lind on my own initiative, designing it end to end across concept, brand, UX, and UI, as a way to explore how design can lower the threshold for seeking mental health support.

The challenge Designing for mental health means designing for people in a vulnerable state, often reaching out for the first time. The interface had to do two things at once: feel calm and reassuring enough to build trust from the very first screen, and fit credibly within the existing digital systems of a public health institution. My background in psychology shaped how I approached this. The design had to lower the threshold for asking for help and carry the user gently through it.

Design decisions Each decision served that goal. I designed the onboarding to be empathetic and paced, guiding users one clear step at a time and explaining how Lind works before asking anything of them, so trust was built before commitment. The visual language uses calm tones and high contrast together: soothing enough to reassure, accessible enough to meet universal design standards. The interface keeps its core functions simple and visible, so a first time user in a difficult moment always knows what to do next.

Reflection Lind is a concept rather than a launched product. It remains the project that most directly connects my psychology background to my design practice, and it reflects how I think public services should be designed: accessible, calm, and built around the person on the other side of the screen.
