NoomaLooma: Creative Wellness

Turn your phone time into creative play. Creating over consuming is scientifically good for your brain. NoomaLooma gives you 3 minutes to spark joy.
Every day, you get a Noodle — a short, playful creative challenge designed to fit inside a coffee break, a commute, or the five minutes before your next meeting. No experience needed. No right answers. Just you, your phone, and something genuinely fun to make.
Why creative wellness?
Creative play is one of the simplest ways to lower stress, interrupt doomscrolling, and spark joy. Backed by neuroscience. The part of you that made things as a kid didn’t disappear. Somewhere along the way you just lost permission to play. NoomaLooma gives it back.
What’s a Noodle?
Draw something. Notice something. Imagine something. Riff on something. Done before you’ve had time to second-guess yourself. Cheer your creative crew, unlock fun stuff, build your streak.
You don’t have to be an artist. You don’t have to be a writer. You just have to be willing to play.
How it works
Open NoomaLooma when you’d normally reach for social media. You’ll find your daily Noodle waiting. Complete the challenge — usually in 3 to 5 minutes. Then unlock the community wall and see what everyone else made from the same prompt. Browsing what others created isn’t passive — it’s part of the play. Come back tomorrow and do it again. Build your creative habit by playing every day.
Small, joyful, repeatable.
Who it’s for
NoomaLooma is built for the person who:
→ Needs a study break that doesn’t turn into a 3-hour doomscroll
→ Used to be creative and lost the thread somewhere in adulthood
→ Wants to do something meaningful with phone time but doesn’t know what
→ Has tried meditation apps but finds sitting still unbearable
→ Believes there’s a version of screen time that actually feels good
What makes it different
Most wellness apps tell you to sit still. NoomaLooma tells you to make something.
Most creativity apps are built for people who already call themselves artists. NoomaLooma is built for everyone who stopped.
Our Noodles are designed around the JAMMA framework — Joyful, Accessible, Micro, Messy, and Alive — because the best creative practice isn’t precious or perfect. It’s a little weird, a little surprising, and done before you’ve had time to second-guess yourself.

From the team
NoomaLooma is co-founded by Piera Gelardi, Refinery29 co-founder and author of The Playful Way (HarperCollins), and Lakshmi Narayanee, a big tech executive who scaled products to 500M+ users. Our wildly different paths converged around one question: what does it look like when people are truly, joyfully alive? The answer was always the same. It looked like play.
