Digital introspection is my diploma project at AHO, exploring new ways of contextualizing screen usage and preserving introspective mind-states.
What do we lose when we reach for our phone during idle moments? Productivity, focus, or something else entirely?
Most digital wellbeing tools interpret healthy use as reducing screen time and staying productive. But what if time itself is an incomplete lens for understanding digital wellbeing?
What if frequency, fragmentation, and pace of our usage mattered as much as the amount of time we spend on a device?
Digital Introspection explores through three scenarios, how we might leave more room for mental downtime, mind-wandering and reflection, without necessarily reducing screen time.

The project won Best Design Diploma at the AHO WORKS AWARDS.
