Project Overview

BookHaven is a mobile reading application designed to help users discover books, read comfortably, and build a consistent reading habit. The app focuses on creating a calm reading experience while making it easy for users to find books that match their interests.

The Problem

Many readers struggle to maintain a regular reading habit. Common issues include difficulty discovering books they enjoy, distractions while reading, and apps that feel cluttered or overwhelming. These challenges often lead to users losing interest after a short time, even when they enjoy reading.

Project Goal

The goal of BookHaven was to:

  • Make book discovery simple and personalised

  • Create a comfortable and distraction-free reading experience

  • Help users track progress and stay motivated

  • Encourage consistent reading habits over time

Design Process
