This document summarizes Benjamin Gadbaw's thesis presentation for his graduate degree. It discusses creating physical objects to encourage mindfulness in New York City residents. The intended experience is a series of social objects placed in public contexts. The future state envisioned is a happier, healthier society fostered by mindfulness compatible with modern life. The methodology draws from design thinking, material exploration, and entrepreneurial approaches.
