Fill my will | resisting drinking pressure with self-care

My design goal is to enable (light/ moderate drinking) students experiencing pressure to drink to feel conscious and confident of their drinking decision when meeting with friends.

My interaction vision is wrapping something you bought for yourself as a gift. A candle set introduces an extra step of care and creates an intimate moment of self-reflection on one’s mood and thoughts about the upcoming social activity. Users solidify their decision in a scented charm symbolizing: energy, health, joy and clarity. The fragility of the created piece makes their awareness subconscious, which doesn’t interfere with the feeling of autonomy.
