Designing for Choice Anxiety

The problem addressed in this project is Decidophobia—the difficulty of making decisions, even in everyday situations such as ordering food. Many people have experienced the familiar moment of hesitation, for example: “What should I eat today?”While this uncertainty may seem trivial, it often develops into a source of stress during the dining experience. In response, I propose an interactive installation within a restaurant setting that supports customers in making food choices. Instead of overwhelming users with additional information, the system reframes decision‑making as an intuitive, engaging, and collaborative experience—transforming hesitation into participation.
