Mindfulness Through Nature​ 
Music and Well-Being

​

To increase well-being on Auburn's campus, our group proposed using natural "music" to promote mindfulness and a connection to the place of Auburn. Three designs that were proposed were water features, nesting boxes, and musical umbrellas.

​

For this project, I primarily worked under the "Drumbrella" subgroup. For this subgroup, I acted as project manager, product designer, site analyst, and graphic producer. The Drumbrella would provide shelter on both rainy and sunny days, while providing music when raindrops strike the waxed cloth panels on the canopy.
