Tools for feeling

Some notebooks make me feel fancy. Others make me feel calm.

Some tools make me feel productive. Others make me feel in control.

Some movies make me feel anxious. Others make me feel relaxed.

Some websites make me feel sad. Others make me feel happy.

Some home furnishings I barely notice. Others make me smile.

I try to consider this in each piece of work I create, both for how it makes me feel, and how it makes those it was created for feel.

We get to choose how we want to feel, in part, by designing an environment that helps us feel that way.
