Challenge
For Candles & Prayers to be successful, the design mould have to ensure that the digital experience resonated with the depth and solemnity of the actual candle-lighting ritual. Users needed a platform that was not only easy to navigate but also one that authentically captured the essence of the tradition. It was crucial to balance functionality with emotional resonance, making sure that the digital interaction felt as meaningful and personal as the physical act of lighting a candle and offering a prayer.
