The design process of the Mind Bonsai. Mind Bonsai is a tool for exploring the territory of self reflection. The goal of this product is to translate the multi-faceted nature of self identity into a visual language that can be observed and shared between people. By visualizing the collected data, individuals will have a touchstone that draws them back to the learning from that moment, as well as an object that can open conversations with others about their process, thereby expanding the benefits of this area of self knowledge.
