Project Focus and Methodology

Keeping a shared space clean shouldn’t feel like a burden—but in many living situations, neglected chores often lead to tension and conflict. This project set out to address that challenge by grounding the design process in three personally significant goals: autonomy, purpose, and relatedness. These values served as a guiding philosophy, shaping decisions with the dual aim of reducing conflict while fostering ownership, meaning, and stronger connections in shared environments.

Being the cause of your own actions and feeling that you can do things your own way.

Having a clear sense of what makes your life meaningful and valuable.

Having warm, mutual, trusting relationships with people who you care about.
