Note to Self is an innovative new product that establishes rituals to reinforce memory.

This project was exhibit at ICFF 2025 Wanted Design School Showcase.

Note to Self allows users to capture thoughts, tasks, or memories on a grid of erasable tiles that can be arranged and rearranged to reinforce their messages. It is a tool for building habits. Variations in the tiles’ textures, colors, forms, and positions enhance cognitive recall and reinforce associations.
Note to Self features porcelain surfaces and structural magnets in a display on which users notate things they want to remember. It is available in different sizes for a maximum adaptability in home or workspace interiors.

The system also includes a portable version that can be attached to a keychain and serve as a reminders to users on the go.

Note to Self is not just a convenient daily tool; it works to improve memory over time. It is a beautiful decorative object, as well, a note of analog grace in a digital world mediating between the past and present.
