Ergonomix

A group redesign of a hand mixer, using a physical prototype to understand scale, grip and the relationship between hand and object.

Context
University team project · 2022
My contribution
Collaborative redesign; physical prototype built with one teammate.
Project status
Full-scale prototype evaluated to select the handle design.

Make it full size. Then decide.

The project was developed collaboratively. I built the 1:1 prototype together with one teammate so we could assess the size of the object and explore its ergonomics.

The physical model helped us decide which handle design worked better for the proposed product. This made the handle choice a decision informed by the object in our hands, rather than by renders alone.

Outcome

The full-scale evaluation informed the selected handle design.
