For my graduate-level Product Design and Development course, I undertook the creative steps and planning aspects involved in developing a consumer product within four weeks from an idea to a semi-functional prototype. I experienced working in a cross-functional team of engineers and data researchers. We worked together to pitch an idea and develop it into first iteration of a semi-functional prototype as a simulation to working within a small product design and innovation department at a large consumer product company. My team decided to design a portable lid opener that fits firmly and comfortably in one hand. From sketching to CAD modeling to rendering to animation to fabrication, I had my hand in multiple aspects of the physical design of the product. Below are images of such endeavors.
