Date

March - May 2020

StepUp is a product that our team designed specifically for and with Harry, our community partner. We learned how to co-design with our clients and battle real world problems involving accessibility and aging. Designing for accessibility not only assist those who are in need, but also supports the greater community.

Project Brief

How can I express my personal identity and explore different design processes?

For me, design is a way to serve people and communities around me. I struggled to find room for self expression and explore my identity as a designer, like how an artist has a distinct style or voice. 

I wanted to challenge the idea of creating a useful and marketable chair for others, and create a chair to represent myself. The worth of this chair is rooted in the process and journey of self discovery.
