Pace – A Sustainable Self-Care Ritual

This project explored how self-care rituals can become acts of environmental care by designing a DIY starter kit for sustainable skincare. Using natural ingredients like orange peel and fermented rice water, the kit encouraged mindful, circular use of materials, from preparation to composting, promoting a slower, more intentional lifestyle.

My Role
I contributed to material experimentation, applying my experience with soft materials to explore bio-based skincare recipes. I documented the evolving properties of these materials over time and translated insights into structured visual storytelling. This project strengthened my sustainable design mindset and highlighted how creative making can foster meaningful, eco-conscious habits.
