Industrial and Interaction Design

LAUREN HAGGERTY

Portfolio

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY Design is at the center of everything we do, enhancing our everyday experiences and in order to build upon this relationship we need to continue to create meaningful dialogue between people, products and the services they use. This is why I firmly believe that human centered design is the key to successful products with solid research providing the foundation for the overall design process. The distinguishing factor behind any product is the value it adds to the user because it is this resonance that drives engagement and growth and interests me as an industrial designer.

Lauren Haggerty Industrial Design, c/o 2016 Syracuse University

OK to Fail is a class about taking your ideas to the marketplace.

Create your prototypes, test it in the marketplace, manufacture the products, and reap the sales. Our goal is simple: fail as many times as possible, so you can sell your product in real life.

Graphic Work

You will learn about marketing, testing, and selling your product. Prototype and then source and price for manufacturing, develop your margin for the sales price, and pitch it to buyers. And most important of all: fail and try again.

Times:

Design a pill crusher for individuals who have to take their medications via a gastronomic tube that feeds into their stomach

PUKA Pill Crusher Redesign

PROJECT BRIEF For some, the act of swallowing a single pill may be an uncomfortable notion. However, for those who have to consume a variety of pills on a daily basis taking them all can be a challenge, especially when it must be administered through a feeding tube.

Over 30,000 patients in the U.S. recieve long term tube feeding care and must grind their medications so that it can be administered through their tube, and properly ingested by the stomach.

This project focused on designing a pill crusher that could be used by either the patient or the caretaker, and would be able to crush a variety of pill sizes and densities into a fine powder to prevent problems from occuring internally.

BENCHMARKING

Looking at existing pill crushers, I found the simpler forms both in design and function to be the most successful and implemented some of these concepts seen to form design goals for my own product. However, further testing revealed that individuals with arthritis or weak motor functions have difficulty using alot of the pill crushers available due to the uncomfortable shape of the forms.

4 3

1. Form was meant to be angular and compact, however the sharp corners would cut into the hand of the user when grinding.

2. Shape was ergonomic, but so small that it would be hard for individuals with illnesses such as arthritis to use.

5

3. Inspired by manual juicers, the form was comfortable to work with only for a limited number of uses. After crushing multiple pills it took a strain on the palm of the hand.

4. The first prototype of what would lead to my final form. The domed top was tested to be comfortable for users with arthritis and had enough leverage to crush a variety of pill densities with ease.

5. A rubber ring was added to the lower half of the top of crusher as well as the base to give the hand something to grip onto.

6. A removable tray was added to make it easier to dispense the crushed product and the rubber ring on the dome top was moved up an inch to cover more surface area on the fingers.

TESting Since testing the design on individuals with stomach feeding tubes was not possible, I looked to the next stakeholder group - the elderly. Tested on both the elderly and my peers, the design proved to be durable and crushed both the tylenol and high density vitamin that we were provided into a fine powder. In addition a removable tray was added to make it easier to remove the tiny granules that were difficult to pick out in the trial run.

We provided GlassLab with a 3D printed model of our final design. This enabled them to compare the two forms during the blowing process for reference and used calipers to constantly check that the dimensions were correct.

Each glass was also given a color ring based on our previously determined color palette to match the packaging of Beak and Skiff’s available cider and spirits.

final design

How can we use design to help unify and co-create an intradependent community through group engagement and communication?

ethnographic design kilburn, london

project brief forming objectives

In a group of 4, our goal was to learn about Kilburn, a neighborhood of London, its history and community to find design opportunities that could both strengthen Kilburn’s sense of place and its sense of community.

As a result of Kilburn residing between two affluent boroughs, its identity is complex and difficult to define both from a geographic and cultural perspective.

By creating Kilburn Connects, an online identity that existed on various social media platforms, we were able to form strong ties and connect with others who were interested in our project, giving us a strong sense of direction and intention as we conducted our research.

The project ended with a hypothetical catalogue of products and services that were inspired by our research and relationship with the Kilburn community. Through this we were able to take our extensive research of the community and quickly ideate solutions.

The project lasted from January to May 2015.

Kilburns boundaries as defined by the London Government Ac t of 1963

building connections COMMUNITY We believe Kilburn is lively, multi-cultural, artistic, accepting, and eclectic. Shopping on High Road is an obvious attraction, however, it is the little treasures you come upon while walking down Kilburn’s side streets that make the area so special. By talking with others we quickly discovered that many of the pedestrians as well as shopkeepers do not live in Kilburn, but rather commute everyday for work.

mathmetician / late 50s

Council member on the Kilburn Neighborhood Plan Forum Resident for over 40 years who invited us to various council meetings

“Residents who live in South Kilburn can’t use services in North Kilburn, and vice versa! There is just...a fairly major disconnect between Brent and Kilburn and its sad really.”

farhan samanani

ph.d student / Mid 20s

Moved from Canda to study philosophy and gentrification in Kilburn Throughout our collaboration, he provided insight that allowed us to better understand Kilburns roots and culture, to ultimately design better probes

“Kilburn is too fragmented to possess a distinct identity...trying to define such an identity might destroy what makes the area so great.”

killian burk

bartender / early 30s

Moved over from Ireland to the edge of Kilburn 3-4 months ago Said the area used to have a large IRA prescence, but that pubs aren’t doing as well since most of them left

“...the streets are dirty, the sidewalks are dirty, rubbish everywhere and its just outdated...I like the pubs and their personality, but the area lacks respect a little bit.”

iza gorecki

job unknown / Mid 50s

Has lived in London for 3 years but is only here for temporary work Regular customer at Vicky’s Oriental Market (where we met) and comes to the store every other week for specialty items from a few towns over

“You know I’ve taught him (shopkeeper), some Polish and that’s what this place is about no? Getting to know people little by little.”

building connections social media

Our social media outreach played a big part in helping us to connect with the Kilburn community. By sharing design goals and updates on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and Instagram, we were able to attract the attention of several interested parties who helped us develop our ideas further.

Twitter proved to be the most effective social platform. By following active members of the community we were able to track community involvemen, start conversations between members, ask questions to help inform insights, and most importantly promote what Kilburn Connects was doing to create involvement.

cultural probes mapping kilburn

Version 2

Thanks to the simpler format of this probe, we got a larger response from participants, through direct contact and Twitter responses. Participant feedback provided us with a great amount of data about which structures and landmarks most people do or do not consider to exist within Kilburn.

Objec tive

One of the first things we noticed about the area was how difficult it was to determine where Kilburn actually exists. Since much of Kilburn actually occupies parts of Camden and Brent, the boundaries of the area are extremely unclear. We taped up a map around various spots with alot of foot traffic in Kilburn in the hopes that people would engage with us about the subject.

cultural probes mapping kilburn cont.

This map focused more on identifying people’s perceptions of Kilburn. We asked passerbys to identify parts of Kilburn that were most important to them and then areas they thought could benefit from change. Our heat map values were based on social media responses as well as feedback from probes.

Green = areas that people valued Red = areas that people thought needed change

We would write their comment on a sticky note and then place it on the relevant area on the map. This enabled us to generate a sort of “heat map” of Kilburn.

“ONLY gym in the area / no daycare”

“Side street has the best shops here”

“Safest part of the area in my opinion”

the catalogue Smarter london event

At the end of the project, our team put together a catalogue of hypothetical products and services that were inspired by our findings and relationship with the Kilburn community.

While we had many ideations represented, the one we found the most useful for the Kilburn community was the concept of creating a cart hire system, similar to the one implemented for bicycles.

CHAIR

project brief The prompt for this project was to design a chair after examining the design and manufacturing criteria of three specific furniture manufacturers in the region, while also weighing considerations such as price, ergonomics, production restraints and material selection.

inspiration and research Inspired by origami the design of this chair references the folds and pleats used to create figures and objects. The research phase of the project led to a material exploration about combining wood and textiles. Accompanying the chair is a series of textiles that play with contrasts such as rigid and flexible; hard and soft; and in the process challenge material perceptions. Ideally the textile and the chair would be combined in an innovative way.
