The fruit of good design is love, joy, good memories, experience, and healing peoples’ wounded hearts. Good design invokes a memory and a story created through user interaction. This story is not only limited to the self but also allows the user to share that specific experience to others. My design process begins with realizing peoples’ needs. The research stage will generate greater knowledge about the user group. My strength lies in using this knowledge in order to design an ideal product which will solve the problem. Development through this process will not only fulfill the aesthetic and function, but will also touch the user’s heart.
