What did I do?
Started with a problem:
Stanford d.School seating has received complaints from faculty and students for being too uncomfortable.
Instead of removing and replacing — costing $10,000+ — I invented and prototyped a stool seat attachment.
Stool+ is placed on the stool and provides a comfortable cushion and backing.
-
A Stanford design course.
Design 11: Visual Thinking Final Project. Fix a bug in people’s lives.
Through Design 11, Patrick Fenton, the professor, sought d.School executives to see where this project could go.
-
Working with contractor to build a final 1:1 prototype.
-
Getting the final approval from the d.School to implement Stool+ and taking final 1:1 prototype to manufacturers to mass produce.
