June 27 Class activity

In class, we did this design thinking packet that helps two people figure out each others needs and come up with the solution for them. I had the liberty to work with Cindy as my partner. It was interesting to find out that she likes to keep her IDs from California and her homeland in her wallet. She also likes to keep a fortune card from her homeland that will protect her from harm. She mentioned how she will be traveling to Hong Kong for her masters degree and that is what made me come up with the solution I proposed.

This is how I drew out the scenario ( in stick figure form due to time limit) of how Cindy would need my product for her trip in order to keep her belonging safe.

For my solution prototype, I created a transportable flip open bag with pockets to store her IDs and her other cards. Due to time limit, the bag came out crooked and broken in some parts. The picture above represents when the bag would flip open.

This picture represents when the bag is closed and latched. The green pipe cleaner is supposed to represent a lock for the bag but unfortunately, I failed at that attempt. I try to put a smile design face in the front to cheer up Cindy on her travels.

This is Cindy wearing the prototype bag along with the shoulder strap that I made with it.

Based off of Cindy's observation from the materials in my wallet, made me a miniature bag that will hold my phone and credit cards in the inside. On the outside, she made a specific card pocket for my season pass to Six Flags. She did an amazing job on it and I liked the strap that came with it.
