“…Jewelry practitioners and researchers have looked at how jewelry can be both fashionable and functional. Jewelry is one of the oldest craft practices in the world, and with the popularity of wearable technology, craftspeople are beginning to modernize their practice [59]. Koulidou and Mitchell [59] emphasized how there has been a heavy focus on wearable technology development in HCI, rather than the message of the piece.…”

“…Jewelry is one of the oldest craft practices in the world, and with the popularity of wearable technology, craftspeople are beginning to modernize their practice [59]. Koulidou and Mitchell [59] emphasized how there has been a heavy focus on wearable technology development in HCI, rather than the message of the piece. They also note that wearable technology has the potential to work beyond "wealth, class, conformity or aesthetic display ... [and can showcase their personal values along with] a number of questions concerned with preciousness, identity and wearability" [59, p. 2].…”

“…Crafting a bespoke design for a client is common in practices of jewellery design when working with traditional materials to produce objects of personal significance [61]. Introducing electronics and digital interactivity into the realm of jewelry opens up new opportunities for design, yet simultaneously complicates the design process and the final product [59]. This is especially so when designing to support individual preferences for emotional self-regulation.…”

The cognitive complexities of emotions and individualized coping strategies make it a difficult space for design. Collecting first-person data can provide nuanced understanding of the lived experience of emotional life, to better inform the design of wearable technologies for emotional self-regulation. We present a preliminary study of our first-person phenomenological approach to autobiographical design. The methodology is unique for the intertwining of emotional activities and mindfulness exercises, as a strategy for controlling emotional repercussions. Self-observation and documentation included journaling and sketching using the Inside-Out Probe workbook, followed by material prototyping and testing in-the-wild. The Breathing Scarf prototype embodies the design considerations. In designing for one to support personalized self-regulation strategies, key considerations include designing for personal comfort, ownership, and individual-over-social meaning-making. Of equal importance in the design research process are the well-being of the designer/researcher, the ability to self-regulate emotions, and the ethics of care and emotion work.

“…The materials qualities of the things I found allowed me to start thinking on issues around data access and sharing to explore in physical ways issues around data access and privacy. Inspired by finding the Stanhope thimble and the suggestion of looking into a hidden world I began an exploration into the potential of using aspects of the thimbles within my research into digital jewellery and self in transition [19]. For the design of Microcosmos and Topoi, I drew also inspiration from the context of miniatures.…”

The arts and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) have a lot in common. As part of computer science HCI is ground breaking, interdisciplinary and focused on the interactions that form part of our everyday world. As part of the arts, HCI is a lens on technology, showing us spaces where there is room to interact and create new and meaningful blended experiences. It is therefore no surprise that many researchers and practitioners in our field h ave a nd m aintain c reative p ractices alongside, and as part of their research. We explore how these dual practices relate to each other, and how we might reconcile our mindful creative experiences with the formality of research. What benefits does such duality
