The final project for my Design Principles 1 class was my first multistage industrial design project.
For this, I was given an exising brand identity (Fiskars®) and tasked with desiging a handheld garden tool for a target user group of elderly master gardeners with rheumatoid arthritis. My primary focus was on relieving tension from the wrists by promoting neutral positioning, all while maintaining the classic style and ergonomics of the Fiskars® brand.
Throughout this process I learned how to research and define a target user group, ideate through iterative sketches, and build prototypes of various fidelities.
