Nesting your hobbies and cultivating them.

Older people, specifically those between the age group of 59-77 are usually at a transition phase in their lives and have a lot of newfound time to explore. This is where Nestivate steps in.


Nestivate is for people like…


  1. Linda, 62
    An active community member and retired teacher who loves exploring her artistic side. She's always on the lookout for new creative outlets that can be shared in social settings, whether it's painting, crafting, or gardening.


  2. Robert, 67
    A retired engineer with a keen intellect, seeks activities that stimulate his mind and encourage exploration. He is eager to learn new skills that not only challenge him but also help him stay connected with his grandchildren


  3. Patricia, 59
    Having just sent her kids off to college, she finds herself with an abundance of time. She's on the lookout for something to fill the quiet hours, seeking to turn her newfound freedom and occasional bouts of boredom into opportunities for self-discovery and joy.

Lato

Roundo

Lato and Roundo are chosen for their distinct yet complementary styles. They are both modern, minimalistic and welcoming in nature. They both share similar characteristics; in particular the rounded edges. Together, they reflect Nestivate's ethos of sparking creative exploration in a friendly way, promoting community collaboration.

The interface needed to be made in a way such that older audiences can easily grasp the main CTAs; (i) ordering the box, (ii) watching guides/tutorials and (iii) connecting with others who are also trying out the boxes.

As for the adveritising for Nestivate, I created the campaign, "Bored?". The idea is to make people really question if they are utilizing their boredom productively/creatively. While traditional advertising customary law suggests not to use negative terminology (such as calling the customer "bored"), my survey revealed that most people found it rather enticing and appealing which lead to people wondering what exactly Nestivate is.
