My bachelor’s thesis "Healing Desktops" explores the development of a hand-painted animated illustration series designed as desktop wallpapers to support relaxation, mindfulness, and emotional well-being in everyday digital environments. Based on insights from color psychology, biophilia, and visual perception, the project features atmospheric compositions with gentle motion and harmonious color palettes. The project demonstrates how visual design can be used as a subtle intervention to create small moments of calm and recovery within digital workspaces.
