RESET

Stack of modern books and magazine with minimalist cover design on leather chair

project overview

Made in collaboration with Alex Dudash and Hope Seibert, RESET is an easily accessible app that enables creative sketching on reflective prompts, allowing college students to anonymously express their feelings while fostering open conversations about their mental health experiences. The design objectives for RESET were to create an opportunity for students to vent their emotions, provide a way to reframe those feelings using motion design, and bridge the gap for students to express their emotions to someone.

final designs

The final app makes use of open-ended prompts that encourage reflective sketching, a technique encouraged by art therapists, and a way to log emotions that feeds into a collective motion piece inspired by DAAP's daily input.

This helps students to reframe their thoughts, engage with their feelings, promote self-expression, and transform DAAP as a whole.
