Solo project

Jan-Jun 2020​
Prototyping & user testing
Workflow
​
I set out to make a universally design water faucet that had an aesthetic expression that fits right into a high-end modern kitchen.
To achieve that the workflow was the first step.

Accessibility
​
The main challenge was to optimize for range.
I found that people in wheelchairs, and sort people, sometimes have trouble reaching the handle on the faucet.
Part of the solution to this problem was to make a remote control. The control can be mounted to the tabletop with screws or by a magnet, making it easily accessible for wheelchair users or others with short reach.
