Overview
A group project designing a business-viable kitchen set for visually impaired individuals. My responsibility was the cutting board component.
Problem
Visually impaired individuals face challenges cooking independently.
Contraints
Informed by interviews and hands-on testing. Cleaning concerns required material reconsideration.
Goals
Design a viable product that empowers visually impaired individuals to take on daily responsibilities.
Outcome
The final cutting board features a trench system that guides chopped food into a removable silicone tray for safer transport. Large grips, rounded edges, and tactile touchpoints improve handling and clarity. Made from dishwasher-safe HDPE to address cleaning concerns, the design supports independence and confidence in the kitchen.
