CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

My primary design criteria focused on portability, intuitive ease of use, and a "non-medical" aesthetic tailored to a Gen Z audience. I aimed to bridge the gap between life-saving utility and an ergonomic accessory that feels like a natural extension of one's daily carry.

After a rigorous ideation phase, I used a Radar Chart to evaluate my top four concepts against my core pillars.

Following targeted user testing, Concept C emerged as the clear form. To validate the form quickly, I moved into rapid 3D printing, allowing for immediate physical feedback on scale and hand-feel.

Once the form was finalized, the transition from "model" to "product" began through meticulous hand-finishing. This involved iterative rounds of sanding and priming to achieve a seamless surface. Finally, I explored various CMF directions to elevate the device from a clinical tool to a premium lifestyle object.

Integrating hand anthropometrics to create a more inclusive, ergonomic user experience.
