For my thesis project, I decided to take on a topic that many of us were confronted with in response to COVID-19, health & wellness. In many ways, this project was an outlet. A medium that allowed me to learn, create and imagine a brighter tomorrow.
This project explores a future reality where meaning and understanding of self does not begin with experience, but simply from thought. A future where visualizing is realizing How might we enhance and expand mindfulness within today’s and tomorrow's digital landscape

Exploring signals such as the quantified self and wearable technologies provide the basis of how we can transform an unintentional pause (mindlessness) into a mindful interaction that brings insight on the self in motion.
