A CURATED COLLECTION OF RESOURCES FOR DESIGNING CALM

Welcome!

This ongoing collection is for designers seeking to create products, services, and spaces that thoughtfully manage user attention, particularly those interested in fostering calming experiences rather than demanding constant engagement.

This collection is curated by me, Audrey Lingstuyl. It comprises a variety of resources, including books, articles, websites, courses, tools, and templates that I have created or found useful, interesting, and occasionally come to love.

Most of the resources focus on ideas Iā€™m passionate about, such as calm design, attention management, thoughtful design, mindful craftsmanship, the materiality of interactions, and user perception. Some links may be affiliate links.

I welcome any feedback, ideas, or contributions. Drop me a line to submit new resources, ask questions, or just say hi!

If you're interested in updates and insights from the Calm Design Lab, feel free to subscribe to the mailing list.
