"First Impression" is an innovative project aimed at addressing the prevalent issue of emotional suppression in social interactions. The project's goal is to design an experience that subtly identifies intentionally suppressed emotions and raises awareness about their impact. Targeting individuals of all ages who experience emotions, it seeks to explore the disconnect between inner feelings and outward appearances, ultimately improving relationships and promoting emotional intelligence.

The project emphasizes the importance of challenging stigma around mental health, breaking cycles of generational emotional suppression, and fostering authentic communication. The design principles focus on visual impact, memorability, imagination, and storytelling. The ideation process involved creating 3D artwork and developing a final outcome with a preferred setting or mockup.

"First Impression" aims to create awareness, understanding, and empathy among its audience. Future steps include testing, collaboration, and workshop creation, demonstrating the project's potential for ongoing development and real-world application in promoting emotional well-being and healthier social interactions.​
