Tactility can change people's moods. I created clothes and accessories that help people ease agitation through simple and repetitive hand movements and interactions with the products.

Things that make people feel apprehension can lead to agitation, which can often lower people's self-confidence or evolve into other negative feelings such as guilt. Through my research, I found that tactility helps people experiences associated affective sensations.

When people touch soft objects, especially soft surfaces, the brain receives safe and comfortable feedback and immediately feels relaxed. In my design, the simple and repetitive movements of the fingertips help distract users from stressful situations. Meanwhile, an unconscious pulling motion can give users a feeling of relief from pressure. As the threads are abraded by users, the products gradually age and take on a new look. I hope that people can relieve agitation while experiencing these products and be comforted emotionally.
