Problem statement

Single hand sanitiser

A daily hand sanitiser concept to be used with only one hand. Aiming to be easily used on the go and whilst juggling other objects as well as enabling those with limb difference on one arm to be able to safely sanitise.

Shown below is a simple user journey map sketch and a prototype for the concept machined out of aluminium.

Observational Sketching

A continual project inspired by Mariko Higaki's 2018 book and the 'Observational sketching', movement.
Recently I discovered the book and have become obsessed with observing and analysing objects and mechanisms around me, through observation and the breakdown of sketching.
I've found this invaluable practice for analysing designs, biases, manufacturing tips and more.
