BA Product Design
When designing, I am always conscious of the end user, ensuring that the products are both beautiful and functional. I am inspired by Oki Sato, known for his minimalist yet playful approach, and attention to detail.
boomerang
Boomerang is a unique product that aims to bridge the generation gap and foster meaningful connections between younger and older generations. It provides a platform for older adults to share their experiences and wisdom with younger generations, addressing issues such as isolation, loneliness, and the loss of cultural heritage. Boomerang's inspiration came from the designer's personal experience of struggling to connect with older family members, leading to the realisation that there was a need for a product that could facilitate cross-generational connections and provide a platform for older adults to share their stories.
By combining technology with the timeless tradition of storytelling, Boomerang offers an easy-to-use interface for older adults to share their memories and insights with younger generations. This promotes understanding, respect, and a sense of community between generations.
With the potential to be used in various settings, such as intergenerational programs and activities, Boomerang has the potential to benefit not only older adults and younger generations but also communities as a whole by promoting intergenerational connections and preserving cultural heritage. In summary, Boomerang is a powerful and innovative product that addresses the generation gap and fosters meaningful connections between generations through the power of storytelling and technology.
