DopaDive


DopaDive is a "space" for me to manage my ADHD.  


It is a conceptual “safe space” for me. I imagined it as a familiar and comfortable cafe/restaurant where I could work on things I need to without being slowed down by my ADHD, and could back on track after being under or overstimulated.


There are multiple components that exist inside it:
  • DopaMenu (a book) for when I'm understimulated,
  • DopaReset (a web experience) for when I'm overstimulated, and
  • DopaDive (the publication) talking about common experiences with ADHD.

     The “MENU”

    • Is divided into 5 sections: appetizers, entrees, sides, desserts, specials.
    • It includes a “holiday menu” of preset activities.
    • And, the “cost” of each item is expressed in the amount of time the activity takes.
     The “PUBLICATION”

    • Is divided into 10 sections which talk about my experience with my ADHD.
    • It explains what “dopamine” is and its importance.
    • And, answers common questions related to it.

        Analogue Designs  


        The analogue designs of this project included an inkjet printed and ring bound menu, a laser printed newspaper and a clipped receipt. The analogue pieces exist in this “space”.

          Web Experience


          The web experience would be enjoyed in DopaDive as a way to manage overstimulation. It is a virtual rearranging/decluttering space where you can recreate your DopaMenu, along with the latest issue of DopaDive the publication.

              This is DopaDive.

              It’s a place where I’d be able to use the different furniture, lighting, sounds, smells and more to manage my under and over stimulation.


              The DopaMenu and the DopaDive Publication exists here and the receipt is an example of an instance of managing my understimulation.

              The DopaDive web experience would be in the corner of the space where I can sit when I’m overstimulated.
