This project is an extension of my Design Studio (Spring 2023) project - 'The Cuddlow' - soft toys designed to share virtual hugs between distant loved ones, replicating the warmth of a hug. As you and your loved one each hold your own Cuddlow, sharing a hug feels genuine, fostering a sense of closeness even across distance.

Building upon this concept, the Feel Closer app is designed to build and maintain emotional bonds with your loved ones.
In today's fast-paced world, where journeys take us far and wide, maintaining those precious ties can be a challenge. Through my research, I found the hurdles faced are physical distance and time zone differences.

As a solution to this, the Feel Closer App, designed using Figma, has the following features -
Cuddlow Setup, enables warm, heartfelt interactions with customizable settings.
Virtual Hug, allows users to share and receive hugs, enhancing calls with the sensation of closeness.
SweetTalks, facilitates users to convey affection through voice notes, aided by thoughtful prompts for expression.
And, with ZoneSync, users can synchronize their availability and time zones, fostering seamless connection and endless hugs! :)
