Calmspace aims to enhance happiness, and natural, proactive interaction for a healthier digital lifestyle.



How can we raise awareness of young adults' anxiety through digital tech, addressing their "always connected" concerns for well-being? Calmspace seeks a mental balance for whom in need of having personal spaces while still desiring social connections. It aims to design an intuitive, accessible experience to raise people's awareness of mental well-being.
