Brief

The challenge was to find a unique problem and solve it with design.

 

Concept

The design problem I chose to solve was inaccessible design which I eventually narrowed down to product design. Through research I was able to narrow down the problem to inaccessible product design and found that cleaning was the task most people with physical disabilities found the most difficult. 

​

Final solution

 

Multi-use, affordable cleaning product

 

Target audience: 

 

• People with physical disabilities 

• Young adults (18-30 years old)

 

Uses: 

 

• Clean small spaces (stains, tile grout, etc.)

• Clean spills 

• Clean windows

 

Product Requirements:

 

• Light 

• Small 

• Easy hold handles 

• Easy cleaning 

• Cheap

• Non-electronic 

 

How does this address the problem?

 

• By being cheap, non-electronic and multi-use, it makes it more affordable for people who may have a limited income (like disabled people and people of a younger generation)

• By having easy-to-hold handles, it makes it easy for people with physical disabilities to hold and use 

• Being easy to clean, light, and small makes it easier for people with physical disabilities to store, maintain, and use.
