Chicken Waterer Concept Development / Design Research & Product Design / 2024

This project required the use of multiple user and market research methods to inform the design of a chicken waterer for inner-city Minnesotans. The challenge was unique in that the final product needed to meet the needs of both the user and the chickens themselves.

What I learned:

  • Research design methods for better user pain point evaluation

  • Synthesizing user and market insights for clear design decisions

  • Developed an understanding of designing solutions that serve both human users and non-human stakeholders.
