Personal Reflection

Designing Fibra challenged me to think more intentionally about how technology can support long-term well-being without adding noise to users' lives. It pushed me to consider not just how people move, but why they choose to. This project deepened my understanding of the growing desire for mindful outdoor experiences and showed me how design can drive sustainable habits through subtle, motivating systems.
