CREATIVE DESIGN METHODS
SUNGLASS DESIGN
I was part of a very rigorous educational experience at the University of Minnesota in a class tasked with cultivating original ideas that are new to the world and the methodology associated with that. I learned divergent and convergent methods of design thinking, conducted market research, user-interviews, crafted surveys, led a focus group brainstorm session, I learned the S.C.A.M.P.E.R method of innovative idea generation and finally presented a collection of 5 novel sunglass ideas.

Memory metal is a bendable metal that keeps durability at the center and bends with mild pressure. These replace hinges and give a smoother rounded corner appearance also removing any hair snags as a pain point.
Frames designed to be worn for all day comfort with no discomfort behind ears even after long periods of continued use. The futuristic "Nose Cone" device painlessly securely adheres to the bridge of the nose, adding a modern profile to a quirky look.
Frames that are made from the inner lining of a billion dollar observatory telescope. Both the lenses and frames themselves are UV protecting.
