🚧 I am still working on this case study. (I have a lot to say!)
If you are curious about this project, please connect with me. I would love to tell you more.
My Initial Ideation Sketches
Our first focus was to find a non-invasive attachment mechanism. I chose a velcro buckle because it is size-adjustable and lightweight yet secure. I also drew on existing schema for the spring clasp (similar to a car phone holder). My team ended up choosing to move forward with my design!
Our team’s FigJam workspace
Because this was a summer project, most of our team was remote. We mainly collaborated using Slack and Zoom. I got to practice not only my product design skills, but also my communication skills.
