I chose product design as I enjoy the whole process, from problem discovery to the final solution. I think the design process is full of unknowns and challenges, just like the iceberg theory. The product I designed this semester is an adrenaline auto-injector. This product can quickly and safely inject epinephrine for users in emergencies to relieve allergic symptoms. My product is for children who often cannot use adrenaline auto-injectors by themselves or might be afraid of injections. I designed the whole product like a toy, intending to be more attractive to children.
Design Overview
I designed an adrenaline auto-injector for children. This image shows the overall shape and colour of my product which is made primarily of plastic due to its malleability. My product is also designed for one-time use, with the choice of plastic reducing costs.
