Context

final project for GIX Fabrication and Physical Prototyping class

My role: UX researcher, product designer

Problem

We were prompted to create a prototype that would solve a problem everyone in the group faces. In our case, this was eating alone

Process

In the month we had for this project, my team researched possible solutions, drafted requirements documentation, and created iterative prototypes of various parts of our lunchbox.

Result

We designed a lunchbox that could split in two for two users to share and hold silverware and a soup cup.
