PROJECT SUMMARY
A UX journey to foster meaningful connections among international students.
This self-initiated project aims to bridge the gap between fast paced digital interactions and meaningful connections inspired by the slow movement. By gamifying the experience with a focus on community, it encourages positive interactions akin to multiplayer games. Despite critiquing mobile phone use, the project utilizes phones to promote mindfulness. Through service design, it seeks to cultivate both short-term pleasure and long-term well-being, providing a safe, social space amidst growing technological reliance.
