GENA
Traditional calendars engage users with their schedules, while digital ones provide real-time reminders, yet no solution seamlessly combines the two. Gena, a sculptural calendar, brings these elements together by focusing on tactility and physical displays to promote mindfulness with even the busiest of schedules.

PERSONA
Paige Smith (she/her)
Works as a Finance Manager
“I often rely on my calendar to remember my events and record my schedule”
As Paige's professional responsibilities continue to grow, she seeks an efficient way to manage her schedule and track both work and personal events. To stay organized, she carries a calendar with her, using it to keep up with her commitments. However, recalling events without frequently consulting her calendar has become challenging, which disrupts her workflow. Additionally, Paige finds it inconvenient to replace her calendar each year. These challenges make it harder to integrate events into her long-term memory and feel truly connected to her current planning system.
