Design Challenge

It was a fast-paced 2 months university project. When I set the brief I knew it was going to be challenging for me but it was was a fun project to push my limits. Mechanical solutions and production methods was a bit tricky for me as the subject was a complete new area that I wasn't familiar with. I had to get lots of information from engineers and experts.

Research

Literature review, observational studies and focus groups made to support the design process. Literature review data is documented in research documents submitted.

Inspiration

One of my colleagues from my internship experience is the inspiration of this project. She is working for long hours in a very crowded urban area which comes with many difficulties. She takes breaks from work on regular basis just to care for her plants and that motivates her to work harder through day. Her connection with her plants is unique. Her love relation with her plants was very inspirational for me. She actually been a part of the project by participating to research process.
