A supportive digital experience that helps design students move through moments of uncertainty, start difficult tasks and regain momentum after interruptions.

Move First

First Move

First Move is a supportive digital experience created for MA design students who struggle to begin complex and uncertain project work. Rather than adding more schedules, reminders or productivity pressure, the system focuses on the moment between intention and action.

Through research into task-initiation barriers, emotional resistance and interruption, the project explores how digital interaction can make the next step feel clearer and easier to begin, while preserving enough context to support users when returning to interrupted work.
