Project description
This project is related to my upcoming master's thesis and explores how product design can add value in the process of increasing awareness and self-reflection. The design process deals extensively with theory and works closely with people. This requires discussions with experts from the fields of psychology and teachers in the field of mindfulness. I would like to find out how and where product design can act as a bridge between theoretical psychology and the implementation in everyday life. Expected by the end of the next semester will be one or more products that encourage a habit of self-reflection.
