About Sleeve Remote Work Kit

Ang Sleeve ay isang remote work kit na idinisenyo para sa mga manlalakbay na nagtatrabaho kahit saan man sila magpunta. Kasama sa kit ang tatlong module na maaaring ikabit sa isang 13-inch na laptop. Ang productivity module ay nagdaragdag ng touch display screen na nakapaloob sa isang milled aluminum cover na may 180-degree hinge, na nag-aalok ng pangalawang screen nang hindi na kailangan ng hiwalay na monitor. Ang comfort module naman ay nagtataas sa base ng laptop nang 50 milimetro upang magkaroon ng mas komportableng anggulo sa paggawa. Ang organizing module ay may mga elastic na bulsa, kung saan ang isa dito ay maaaring maglaman ng wireless charging system. Sa kabuuan, pinapababa ng mga module na ito ang bigat na dinadala tuwing naglalakbay.

Production Technology: The productivity module of the Sleeve features a touch display screen encased in a CNC milled aluminum cover with a 180-degree hinge for easy opening and rotation. The incline of the comfort module is designed with a stamp cut plastic, a foam-padded extension is added for incline support. The organization module includes elastic pockets, one of which is designed to hold a wireless charging system.
Design Challenge: Developing a product for the emerging work and vacation space posed several challenges. Firstly, the culture of digital nomads is relatively new, making it important to gain a clear understanding of the unique problems and perspectives within this space. Additionally, the challenge of balancing a seamless tech product with a vacation vibe required extensive research and creative ideation to create a product that meets these unique needs
Research: I conducted a research study on the workcation experiences of 14 individuals and identified three primary challenges they faced: difficulty organizing work materials while traveling, discomfort when working in cafes not designed for work, and distraction caused by the vacation atmosphere. To address these issues, I examined existing solutions in these areas and used them as a basis for my own ideation.
Inspiration: Sleeve is a comprehensive workstation kit designed for travelers who work remotely. With the rise of remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increasing number of travelers who work while on the go. Sleeve provides a solution to make work and travel trips more comfortable, productive, and organized for these travelers
Project Duration: This project was done in 2 months starting in March 2022 in San Francisco, Bay Area.
Operation Flow: Installing the Sleeve is easy - remove the tape and stick the modules to your laptop. Double-tap the touch display to turn it on and use it as a double screen monitor. For the comfort module, place your laptop on it and lift up the incline. For the organizing module, place things for organizing and on-the-go charging in the elastic pockets.
