MY ROLE

CONTRIBUTION
This project was developed for the "Design Week" of Kolding in 2017 and funded by the "Business Kolding" organization.
I was responsible for qualitative user research by conducting interviews, observations, and field visits. I was also responsible for the concept development which includes ideation, and brainstorming sessions, as well as the product development by choosing the most suitable materials for the workout, incorporating the circuit on the wearable garment, 3D modeling through Fusion 360 software, and creating a series of 3D printed models in order to select the most convenient for the user through user testings. Another key role that I had was the technical implementation of the wearable device by installing and coding the hardware and the sensors.
