RAINWATER
PURIFIER
SECONDARY DRINKABLE
WATER SOURCE
Focus: Product Development
Duration: 4 Months
Skills: Researching, Sketching, Digital Prototyping, Physical Prototyping, User Testing, SolidWorks Assembly
Software: SolidWorks, Illustrator, Photoshop, GravitySketch, KeyShot
This system allows homeowners with backyards the ability to access an alternative drinkable water source. It was designed to celebrate and beautify the backyard, while doubling as a functional object.
WHAT I LEARNED FROM THIS PROJECT
I learned how to develop a concept in depth from the initial research stage to final design concept. I also learned how to pivot the direction of my design and manage my time.
